Good afternoon,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Welcome to the first full week of school! This week:

• Tomorrow is an early release, dismissal is at 1:50.
• This week we start testing the students. We will be administering individual DRA reading tests all month. We will also do our iReady computer tests in reading and math this Thursday and Friday morning. Makeups will be next week. Please make sure your child is in school and on time those days. Please ensure they get a good night sleep and a healthy breakfast. These test scores will be shared and discussed with you at conferences in November.
• This week in math we will complete module 1 lessons 5-8 and a quiz.
• Thanks to everyone that has signed up for the PTA so far. The class with the most parents signed up at the end of September will win cider and donuts! If you haven’t signed up yet please do so.
• The PTA is having a school fundraiser on September 18th, a flyer is going home today with more info.
• The character trait for September is Responsibility. There is a note going home tomorrow about it. Please discuss this with your child.
• We will start spelling the week of Sept 23rd. Our first spelling test will be Sept 27th. Reading logs and weekly writing homework will start in October. More info to come.
• Happy September birthdays to: Karim K (13), Mila (25), and Emma (28)!!
