family literacy & math night
Family Literacy Night: Classroom visits
On Thursday January 16, students will have a chance to show their families their writing. Please plan to leave at least one piece of students' writing out on the 16th in your classrooms. You can leave a students' entire writing folders or just one piece that they want to share. In the upper grades, students can share their writing on the chromebooks. I will make sure to tell parents that they are ONLY looking at their children's writing - so they should not be pulling out other folders and/or work. Please le me know if you have any questions! Thank you!
Calling All Volunteers for our January 16th Family Night
We will be having a volunteer meeting to discuss the Winter Warm Up Family Night on January 8th from 8:15 - 8:30 AM in the Media Center.
Let one of us know if you can't make it!

You Are Special Award nominations
It is time again for the You Are Special Award nominations. While these nominations come directly from the principal, I would like input from staff. Please email me with your thoughts.
report cards
The report card window is officially open. The window will close at the end of the day on January 30th, 2020. Report cards will be sent home on Friday, January 31st, 2020. This link provides resources including blank report cards, a gradebook tutorial and instructions for printing reports for a select group.
As a reminder, if you have any student concerns with academics or behavior, report cards and progress reports should not be the first time parents are hearing about them.
Also, please remember that any student who requires translation in either Spanish or Portuguese MUST HAVE their report cards and comments sent home in their native language. Please use this LINK to access the elementary report card comments bank. There are translations in Spanish and Portuguese.
