We hope that you had a relaxing Thanksgiving recess.

Conference times will be listed again on this coming week's update. Please arrive on time to your scheduled conference. A few weeks ago, an email was sent regarding the new report of student progress. This information can also be found online at the district website. Please remember that students are dismissed at 1:30 during conference weeks, December 5 to December 16.

On Friday, December 16 at 11:45, we will be having a Heritage Feast. More information will come home soon.

Math

We will be continuing our work with division in this coming week through our textbook series. The specific standard states that students will have to understand how to check their answers with the inverse operation.

As the trimester ends, we will also be reviewing and assessing standards that have been taught.
