Dear Parents,
The biggest events of the week included finalizing NECAPS and getting ready for Parent Teacher conferences. Although everyone found the process tiring, students worked very hard on their assessments. This weekend Mrs. Kennedy and I will happily finalize this process by packing up the tests and getting them ready to ship out.
I have noticed a strong correlation between parent-teacher conference attendance and student progress. This trimester we have had a light turn out. I hope that meant most parents feel they have a good handle on their child’s progress. We are happy to talk to you any time you have any questions or comments.
Students have been bringing in deodorant/perfume and spraying it in the classrooms or on the bus. There are two issues. Some students and staff are allergic or sensitive to this and some students have sprayed other students in the face. Would you help us with this by keeping these items at home?
The 5th and 6th graders are developing a play to depict the evolution of life on the planet. We don't have a date for the performance yet. The 7th and 8th graders are tracking down a mysterious disease. This science unit requires that students learn about viral, bacteria and protozoan-caused diseases in order to track down the culprit.
The 5th, 6th and 8th grade math classes are working on multiplication strategies, fractions and the Pythagorean theorem, respectively.
