Parent Teacher Conferences
Parents as we near the end of the first six weeks we are looking forward to talking to you about your students progress so far this year. You will find links for each teams sign up form below. Conferences will be in person and will be scheduled in 20 minute blocks. Teams will be meeting together so that we are able to communicate all of their successes, and areas where they may need extra supports all at one time. If you happen to have more than one kiddo in 5th please sign up for one time slot for your family. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know, we are happy to help.
A Note About Things From Home....
We know that our kiddos love their things, and often want to show or share these items with their friends. However, we are having issues with these things becoming a distraction in class and in school. Please talk with your kiddos and be sure that they are leaving toys, trading cards, makeup, and other distractions at home.

Important Information To Help Your Student At Home!
You may have noticed that your student does not have daily homework. However your student is responsible for bringing a fact grid to Math class every day! The only time a student should have homework is to make-up missed work from an absence or work that was not completed in class. Here are some suggestions if you want your student to have extra practice.
- Daily Fact Grid (multiplication chart 1-12 & 25's)
- Read daily for at least 20 minutes
- Practice fact fluency (multiplication & division)
- Log in to ClassLink and work on Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies in Progress Learning (this used to be Education Galaxy), or check out Sora, our online digital library.
CHECK SKYWARD!!!
We are teaching our kiddos to be self reliant so that when they transition to 6th grade they will know how to find their grades, missing assignments, messages, and more. This should be checked at least twice a week, if not daily (students). This helps students stay on track and they can see instantly if there is something they need to fix, submit, or talk to the teacher about.
Make-up missed work from an absence or work that was not completed in class will be considered homework. If your student was absent they have the number of days they were out to return missed work. For example, if your student was sick and missed two days of school, they have two days to complete the work they missed while they were out. It is the students responsibility to ask for makeup work.
