Important News and Information:
-AR (accelerated reader) will start on Monday, 8/28. A point goal will be sent home with each student on Monday. First quarter point goals will be due on Thursday, Oct. 12th. A letter with information about how to connect to the AR system for parents will also be sent home on Monday.
-Spelling tests are graded and in homework folders. I circled letters that look capitalized that should be lower case. On the first few tests of the year, I do not count off for this. However, after our first 3 tests, I will begin to count off a 1/2 point for each letter that is capitalized.
-No School Labor Day Monday, Sept. 4th.
