Spelling test have been going home graded as soon as possible. I have noticed a few things that I would like to address. Firstly, some students have been drawing on the tests and I am concerned that they are overly focused on their drawings and not on their spelling words. I will be talking about this to students in class but would appreciate your support at home. Secondly, if a student receives a failing grade of a 4 then their test is stamped with a request for you to sign and return. This is to let me know that you have seen the test and are aware of your child’s grade. I only want to keep you informed of the progress your child is making. Additionally, I would strongly suggest using the parent portal to keep up to date on the scores your child is receiving.
