Dear Snow Parents,
Snow Elementary is committed to fostering an inclusive environment for our students with and without disabilities. As part of our efforts to support students with disabilities we have developed a program to promote awareness.
Peer Pals is dedicated to building relationships between general education students and students with special needs. This program allows general education students to develop empathy and understanding of differing abilities. It allows for students with special needs to build friendships with same age typically developing peers. Some students will be paired in social/academic activities with a peer pal. Student participation is voluntary.

The Unit 5 Math Test will be coming home today. Any student who received a “3” may do test corrections to earn 0.5% for each incorrect answer to improve their grade. Students who scored a “4” have the option of taking a retest. If a student is interested in taking a retest, he/she will need to verbally notify me no later than this Wednesday.
We will be taking our final NWEA test in Science this Wednesday. Once the website has calculated the scores, I will send home a print out of all test scores so families can see where your child showed growth and where improvement is still needed. I encourage students to go onto the dearbornschools.org website and click on NWEA RIT Practice to do activities at home to help improve their RIT scores.
