Week of September 11-15

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend Open House on Thursday. It was a pleasure having you.

This week, students will take the MAP test for reading on Wednesday and math on Thursday for the first time. (We will take it again in the Spring.) Please make sure your child arrives to school on time those days to ensure there is no delay in testing. We will also complete the DRA test. Each student will read to me individually and then answer questions.  The scores from both tests will be analyzed and used to form reading/math groups to suit the individual needs of each student.

Fundraising packets and money are due Monday, September 11th. Please return all information.

Graded papers go home on Thursdays with weekly progress reports. After you review the items, please return the entire packet signed in your child's blue folder the next day. Grades are updated in Parent Portal by Tuesdays. Please check there for your child's most updated grade.
