Welcome to second quarter! Thank you to everyone who has submitted their parent/teacher conference time request forms. Please send yours in ASAP if you haven't done so yet. I will be setting up conferences and sending home a note to confirm our meeting time. Please let me know if the confirmed time does not work for you. I am moving our science projects to 2nd semester. I will send home information in early January in regards to the process and the expectations. As a reminder about homework.......if your child has worked for 30 to 40 minutes, has not completed their assignment and is getting frustrated.....STOP......and ask them to talk to me the next day. I would prefer to stop students before they get frustrated and address the issues the next day. That tells me there is something I did not do to explain the work. I realize this is my philosophy and beliefs that you may or may not share with me.
Welcome to the new school year! I am certain this be another amazing year.
Just a few reminders:
If you have not submitted your forms (emergency forms, income verification form, medical information form, media consent form, and acknowledgement page from the student code of conduct book) please do so as soon possible.
Walk-a-thon information and permission slips went home on Friday. Please return the permission slips by October 2.
Please pay your student fees by September 28. You can pay online for both your student fees and gym uniforms!
Flyers for Scholastic Book Clubs were sent home. Purchasing from the flyers is optional. If you choose to complete an order online, the class code is MGZXF.
NWEA testing will take place this week. Please see the schedule.
Students were given a schedule which we taped in their locker and an additional copy that was placed in their red homework folder. I have also added one here for your convenience. 4th grade schedule
