Report cards

By

Report cards for the second marking period will be sent home today.

This is your copy to keep, but please sign and return the envelope to school to let me know you received the report card. I have already scheduled conferences for anyone I would like to meet with. However, if you have any questions about your child’s report card, feel free to email me at roec@dearbornschools.org.

P.S. Module 2 Math tests will be sent home today as well. Thank you for your patience!

NWEA Test Results and Conferences

Yesterday I sent home a printed report with information on how your child performed on the NWEA Math and Reading tests.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the results of these tests. I will be contacting parents of any child I am concerned about to schedule a mid-year conference.

Cultural Night!

Cultural Night is April 16th

Sign up to help now!

River Oaks PTA will be hosting the first annual cultural night on April 16, 2020 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm and they need YOUR help! To make this an amazing and diverse event, they need to put our efforts together to create a memorable night for our students, families and staff. There will be FREE food, music and entertainment!

We want to create a gallery walk/exhibit showing different countries. Each family can create a display board, bring food and/or artifacts that represent a country and share its interesting cultural facts. You can even represent a country that you’re not from.

In addition, every grade level will be assigned a continent and every class will represent a country. Your child will be part of a class project in which they will conduct research and learn about the assigned country. Come see their work!

It doesn’t stop there! We will also have a fashion show where students and parents can show off the cultural wear. Clothing must be school appropriate.

But wait! Do you own instruments and want to sign/perform in front of the school to represent your country? Do you know how to do Henna Tattoos? Please call Ms. Sandi at 313-827-6750 for more information.

To participate in this event, please fill out the form coming home soon and return to the school by Friday January 24th. We will contact you on the phone number below for further questions.

We will be taking the NWEA Test tomorrow January 14th and Wednesday January 15th to check student progress in Math and Reading. Your child will bring home a note today with their Fall scores and Winter goals. We do not want students to worry about the test, but please encourage them to go to bed on time and eat a good breakfast the next few days!
