Knights EXCEL
Week of April 17-April 21
CALENDAR CONVERSATION:
Please join us in celebrating reading and school libraries during the month of April! Consider donating a book, reading to a class or student....
Laptops:
**All laptops must be assessed for condition by April 19th. Please make sure you check with your child about their laptop condition as many are not taking care of these devices! They are a part of their learning and cannot maximize their learning when they are not taken care of daily. If there are damages they could be without a device and may need to pay. Please help stress the importance of respect and responsibility.
MAP testing:
**Teams will be recognized for MAP growth at Jamboree as well as individual students. Encourage them to do their best as this also determines interventions, summer school and next year class placement needs.
