Dear Parents/Guardians,

The 2017-2018 Academic Calendar has been revised to recover instructional time and can be found on the district

webpage http://www.collierschools.com/Page/8387. Please note that we now have school on Oct. 16th & 17th, Quarter 1

will now end on Oct. 26th and there will be no school for students on Oct. 27th. As we look towards the end of the first

grading period, the incentive program revised at the end of last school year will continue to be in place. Students in K-5th

Grades are eligible for certificates following district established criteria:

Academic Excellence:

K-2nd All O’s in ELA, Math, Science & Social Studies 3-5th All A’s in ELA, Math, Science & Social Studies

The TBE Incentive Ticket Program for Third through Fifth Grade Students will remain the same as it did at the end of last

year. Below reviews the current established criteria:

Whether a member or not, you are always welcome to attend a SAC meeting. Our next meeting will be on Oct. 19th at

Math Fact Challenge

We continue to have a school wide focus on mastering our grade level math facts. Students will be recognized for meeting

their goal at the interim period and at the end of each quarter by earning a no uniform pass. Due to the changes in the

calendar, the first recognition will occur at the end of quarter 1 and not at interim. We ask that parents work with their child

towards accomplishing their goal:

Kinder: Write numbers 1-5 3rd: Subtraction 0-12

1st: Solve 10 single digit addition problems in 1 minute 4th: Multiplication 0-9

2nd: Fluently add Addition facts within 10 5th: Multiplication 0-12

Let Success Shine!
