Weekly Update

Good morning.  It's "FSA testing season" so don't be surprised when you see changes in your child's homework or 
  • Progress Alerts will come home on Wednesday.  Please sign and return them on Thursday.  (We will check students off and send it back home.)  
  • To see a detailed grade report, login here.  If you need your child's login information, please send us an email or give a note to your child.   You can set up email subscriptions so you don't have to login each week.  Check out the "stay informed" tab for directions.  
  • As we learn more about the FSA test, we are changing our teaching to ensure that the students are as prepared as possible.  At this point, you will mostly notice changes in Language Arts.  Students will be working more intensely in Writing and their nightly homework will no longer be a reading log. Please check their agenda book for nightly ELA homework.
  • Students are still expected to meet their AR Goal.  Each week they are given a small goal to reach.  Ask them about their goal for the week.  To log into their account and see for yourself click here.  (AR also has email subscriptions, so you'll know each time your child takes a test.)
  • The Chapter 7 Math Test will be given on Wednesday, February 5th. Students have been preparing in class, and homework wise, for 2 days.
