Dear Parents,
It feels like Fall now as the weather cools and the leaves change. Quarter 1 is concluding, and you will receive report cards on November 15. Keep the report card, but sign the envelope and return the envelope to your child's teacher.
If you are interested in what your child should be learning and mastering during quarter 2, you can access the Quarter 2 Instructional Focus newsletter on our Luxford website by clicking here: http://www.luxfordes.vbschools.com/pages/news/content/pdfs/Quarter%202%20Focus.pdf.
Don't forget to access our on-line learning games and resources from home! Click on the Clever Portal link on our Luxford website to access them. 3rd - 5th grade students should spend time on Achieve3000 (reading program) and TenMarks (math program) each week to enrich their reading and math skills. If you do not know how to log on, please contact our Instructional Technology Specialist, Janet Seward, at janet.seward@vbschools.com as she is happy to help you get connected from home. These two programs are research-based and have shown to increase student performance significantly if students spend 35-40 minutes on the program twice per week.
Remember, there is no school for students on November 8th or November 11th. November 8th is a parent teacher conference day. Please contact your teacher if you have not scheduled a conference. November 11th is Veteran's Day.
Please return Federal Cards if you have not done so already.
Have a wonderful weekend with your families!
Sincerely,
Danielle Colucci
Principal, Luxford Elementary School
