                               March

There is a common expression people use all the time when someone starts a new venture or is facing a difficult task, “Good Luck!”  I think we frequently make our own luck.  The children have worked very hard preparing for the ISAT.  They should know what to expect and have no surprises.  Fifth grade will be tested in reading on Tuesday, March 2; Wednesday, March 3; Thursday, March 4;   The math test will be given Friday, March 5; Monday, March 8; Tuesday, March 9; The expository writing will be given Wednesday, March 10.  The tests are given the first periods of the morning followed by a regular school day.  The students should make every effort to be in school on time!

 

For the students to do well, they should have a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast.  Instead of saying, “Good Luck,” encourage them to do their best and listen to instructions.  Having your support can have a great impact.  Our break is the week of March 29th and I wish you all a very well deserved and relaxing week!  There is no school Monday, April 5th, and there are conferences on Tuesday, April 6th.

    

 Please continue to check your child’s assignment notebook each night.  All assignments for the day are written in their notebooks.  Graded papers that are brought home do not need to be returned to school.  I need tests brought back to school signed by a parent, and then it will be given back to you to keep.  Any child that needs extra help is free to come in at recess, before school, or after school.  I do need notice so I can make sure I will be in the room.  I would prefer the students to get an early morning pass from me so the office knows I am aware this child has permission to be in the building.

     Concerning Parent Portal, I will have grades updated within 5 days of the date that it is due.
