OPEN HOUSE- Please mark your calendars for Thursday, Sept. 15th from 6:00-7:30. Open House will start with a meeting in the gym. Parents will be dismissed to the classrooms after the PTSA meeting.
ACCELERATED READER- All students need to earn at least 9 AR points this nine weeks. I have written the number of AR points your child has earned so far in the agenda. We are starting the fourth week of school so make sure your child is reading every night and taking AR tests at school. There are plenty of times throughout the day to take AR tests and to go to the media center. If your child is having trouble with either of these, let me know and I will make sure to suggest a good time to take a test or to go to the media center. I can also help your child with a book choice if that is a problem.
