Greetings! 

We have just ended another awesome week of  learning and building  classroom community. Students are working hard to  follow procedures and do their personal best.   Next  Monday, school will be closed in observance of Labor Day.  On Tuesday, I will  continue administering the  Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA).  It is an individually  administered   assessment of a child's reading capabilities.  

Field trip forms were sent  home on Thursday in your child's  communication folder.  This permission  form will cover all field studies for the year.  Please complete and return the bottom portion of the slip by September​ ​17th​.​   Payments may be made online through Parent Portal, under the “Student Fees” section.    If you choose to use this method of payment, please write a note on the top of the form indicating you have paid.  

Assessments  for reading comprehension and vocabulary will be given  each Thursday.  Students are required to read each  test question independently (unless they have an IEP).  Therefore, I encourage you to  speak to your child  about taking their time and reading each question carefully. They are  allowed to use their book when answering their reading comprehension questions.   Math assessment will be given  at the end of each unit

Please ensure that your child has a pair of headphones.
