November 17th-21st Newsletter

^{Grade Printout}

^{I will be sending home a grade print out today in the homework packet so that you can review how your child is doing so far this quarter.  Please take time to review it and let me know if you have any questions.  There is a paper for you to sign so that I know that you had a chance to see the printout.}

^{Math Tutoring}

^{If your child is having problems with Math, I will be tutoring students on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning this week. The tutoring sessions are voluntary.  The only requirements that I have are that students notify me by Tuesday that they have your permission to attend.  This week’s tutorial sessions will be on Tuesday from 3:30 to 4:15 pm and Thursday from 8:00-8:45 am.  I had to move Thursday’s session to the morning because I have teacher training from 4-6 this week on Thursday.  In the future, both tutoring sessions will be after school unless I notify you.}

November 3-7th Newsletter

^{Dear Parents,}

^{Today your child should have brought home the SAGE Testing Results from their 4th Grade year.  These results were just released to us and we are now distributing them to students and their parents.  The SAGE testing Program is a different program than has been used in the past to measure learning at the end of the year.  The Scoring rubric is new.  If you have any questions about the testing, please notify me and I will explain to you the results, what they mean, or how it compares to the past End of Level Tests.  The SAGE Tests are one evaluative tool of many that we use to determine growth and understanding of the school curriculum.} 

^{Veteran’s Day}

^{On Veterans’ Day we will be singing the closing song at the Memorials.  The program is set to begin at 11:00.  Everyone is invited to attend.}
