Week of January 8-12th

The students did well coming back from the Winter Break. We eased into things as we reviewed academic skills and school/classroom procedures. This week, we will pick up with our weekly routine. Homework will return and we will test on Thursday. Please continue to remind your child of the rules and procedures at school and in the classroom. 

I am conducting the DRA winter tests. This will take a few weeks to complete since I test each student individually. I will update you on the results at the end of the month. A final round of DRA tests will be administered in the spring before school is dismissed in May.
