Dear Parents,
In lieu of parent conferences on February 8th and 9th we are going to have a 3rd grade parent night on Wednesday, February 7 at 5:00 p.m. in the MWE Library.
We want to show you the format of the STAAR test, answer any questions you may have, and give you some very engaging games that you can play with your child.
The games are based on skills that have been previously taught, and will serve as reinforcement that should help every child achieve their best on these assessments.
Playing these games with your child will give you the opportunity to have fun with your child, and also generate more conversations about what they are learning in third grade.
We hope to see you on February 7th at 5 p.m. in the MWE library.
Kindest regards,
Third Grade Team
Also, additional conferences may be scheduled, as needed, by the teacher or upon parent request
