Developing a community of leaders for a better world.
Things to know...
- You will find an End of Year reflection in your box - please take a few minutes to reflect on this year. I will be setting up end of year conferences some time after we get STAAR behind us. Please jot down your reflections and hold on to it until we meet.
- Here is the schedule for creating class lists (7:30-8:30):
- 19th - First
- 20th - Kinder
- 24th - Second
- 25th - Third
- 26th - Fourth
- Please have your class placement cards completed. We put testing grades on the last days so that you would have as much time as possible to get DRA's done - hope it helps!
- Please help PTA by encouraging your kids to get excited and participate in the read-a-thon on Friday! They can get friends and family to sponsor them for reading - it will also be PJ Day. Thank you teachers for being flexible and supporting PTA - I know this is a challenge!
- If you have not held student-led conferences - please make sure you have those completed before the 27th of May!
