The End of the 1st 9 Weeks

Wow! It is hard to believe we are approaching the end of the first grading period. Student's will receive their final report card grades on Tuesday, October 25th. Report cards will come home the first week in November I believe.

We have a lot going on to finish out this 9 weeks-
10/20 - Fun Run- Please send your sponsorships in :-)

10/25 - Reading Celebration - Our entire class will celebrate :-)

10/26 - Walk to Pumpkin Patch at Baymeadows Baptist Church for pumpkin activity on Monday. Students may purchase a small pumpkin for $1-2 dollars.

10/27 - UNF Fieldtrip - Slim Goodbody and picnic at the park. Students will need a bag lunch and a can drink.

10/28 - No School for Students- Teacher Planning Day

As we roll into the second nine weeks it is important that your student is receiving remediation of materials covered in class at home each night. All students at this point should know their multiplication tables. We will start learning profile sheets coming home on Friday's describing your child's current academic progress. We at the school CANNOT do it alone- they have to have assistance outside of school as well. Therefore, I am asking each family to spend at least 60 minutes a day working with your child in Reading and Math- they need this. Their success hugely depends on this. While it might be difficult to carve out the time, you ability to help them is priceless!

Planners - Should be signed nightly. It is a key communication between home and school- planners should never be blank.

Responsible Citizens- Make sure you speak to your students about responsible decisions- Good behavior is necessary for STAR placement.
