Students recently completed the number system unit test. We reviewed all answers to the test in class last week and hosted study sessions after school last Wednesday and Thursday in order to support students in learning the material, understanding their mistakes and preparing for a retake. Sign up sheets for retakes were posted in class. It was discussed that students should see Mrs. Furlow or Ms. Beydoun to make other arrangements if the study sessions or retake dates did not fit their schedules.  The first retake date was after school last Friday and the second retake date is today after school. There will be another study session available on Tuesday, Nov. 28, followed by another retake date on Wednesday, November 29.

It would be helpful for you to check parent connect and encourage your child to take advantage of next week’s study session and retake opportunity if needed.

Thank you for support!

Thank you to all the families that were able to attend conferences last week! It was a pleasure to meet with you!  If you were unable to attend conferences and you have a question or concern about your child, feel free to email me and we can arrange a time to meet.
