Langston's Letters
March 20 - March 24
A Note from the Principal
Dear Langston Hughes Family,
The New York State ELA and Mathematics examinations will take place in April and May. Third through fifth grade teachers have been working with the students throughout the year to strengthen their skills. Classwork, homework, and daily independent reading at home all play a significant part in preparing students to meet the demands of the exams. Currently, students are learning how to read the exams, distinguish between the types of questions on the tests, and how to pace themselves. They are learning the art of test-taking.
You can support our efforts by ensuring that:
- Your child is in school, on time, every day
- They complete all of their assignments
- They read each night to build stamina
Thank you for your continued support.
Have a wonderful week!
Denean Stephens-Spellman
