Upcoming Tests & Quizzes:
***Each of our three classes will be within a few days of each other in taking our tests. Please be watching the homework planners and refer to the individual calendars outside your child’s classroom to find out specific dates. A test schedule will also come home each week for the upcoming two weeks.
Other Information:
As a reminder and for clarification, remember to check your child’s planner every night for notes and information pertaining to our class. We are teaching your children how to use the planner and to be responsible for doing their homework. When you sign it, we know that you have seen it. While this does not affect your child’s grade, it is consistent with teachers in the upper grades and your child will already be in the habit of writing down homework and having you sign his planner. It is important that you initial their reading log after they have completed the required 20 minutes of reading for the night, as this does affect their homework grade.
