We flexibly group students in Reading and Math. We initially looked

at EOG or other state tests along with gradesand any other data that was available to us from the end of fourth grade. We reasses students all the time to see if their placement is still where it needs to be.

The teachers will meet as a team during data teams to discuss movement of students. Your child’s

homeroom teacher will let you know if a move will happen.

Our school is working to become a Global Network School.

Each grade level works to incorporate a continent into their studies.

This year we will be learning about South America

I am sure you all will know the capitals of South America by the time we are finished this week!

County policy states that I have 7 days to input grades into Power School-

Please know that only homeroom classes have been scheduled at this time. Until the other classes are scheduled in Power School, grades can not be entered.

Reading time

Please fill out the online excuse form when your child is going to be absent. If you do not have access to the online form, please send in a note the day your child returns back to school.

When a child returns back to school, they need to check the While You Were Away board for makeup work.

Students have the same amount of days they were absent to make up their work.

Please know that when a child is checked out of school early or brought to school late due to a medical appointment, a note from the doctor must be sent in to code it as an excused tardy.

Writing is integrated in all ofour subjects. Smaller writing

units will be a part of the reading block
