HELLO FAMILIES!!

We have 1.5 days left of school!  Welcome to our last week of school!  We will dismiss students for summer vacation on Tuesday, June 10th at noon. 

Let us begin by thanking each and every one one of you for helping make this year a tremendous year of growth, excitement, happiness, and maturity.  We have loved spending time with your children and learning about each and every one of them.  Thank you for taking the time to create a relationship with us to best support your child.

  We look forward to seeing you next year!  We encourage you all to stay in touch and please let us know if there is anything we can do for you and your child.  We will always be advocates and friends when and if you need us!  

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:

  • REPORT CARDS WILL GO HOME IN FRIDAY FOLDERS on TUESDAY, JUNE 10th.  (If your child is not here on the last day of school, your child's report card will be mailed - unless we've communicated otherwise.)
  • Inside Report Cards is a copy of your child's MAP scores and reading level (lexile level).  I have highlighted your child's reading level.  Please remember that this is one piece of a body of evidence determined by one test in May.  We look at many factors when determining a child's overall reading proficiency.  
  • Inside Report Cards are a few sheets recommending summer reading and math activities, as well as the lexile website where you can find books at your child's reading level. 
  • Reading Binders and remaining workbooks and spirals will go home this week.  Inside your child's reading binder, is his or her goals' sheet, fluency graphs, and spelling graphs.  Please look in the goals' section for beginning to end of the year progress  and growth for your child in reading.  
  • TUTOR------  Michelle Neuder, our 2nd grade support teacher and next year's 2nd grade classroom teacher, is available for tutoring.  If you are interested, please let me know, and I will be happy to forward your information on to her.  PTCO is also gathering tutoring information for parents, so stay tuned for that as well.
