News to Know
Fifth Graders are definitely getting the routines down! Having a shortened lunch time was not ideal, but the students handled it well!
Back to School Night on Wednesday, 9/2 from 6-7:30.
This week students will be taking the district mandated IXL testing in Reading and Math. This is to get a baseline for student academic growth.
Reading logs are currently going back and forth between school and home. This is a way to record their nightly, at home reading. They are responsible for a minimum of 4 at home readings of 20 minutes or longer each week. A parent needs to initial the at home readings to verify that students are actually reading at home.
Reading logs go home on Monday and are turned in on the following Monday.
Please use the agenda to check for homework and to also see what your child does each day! Homework will be circled in the agenda.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
