Mrs. Stern's Star News
4th Grade at River Place Elementary~~September 2, 2013
Here we go with week two!
Every link here can be accessed from our class website at the bottom of this newsletter ;)
Agendas
BEHAVIOR: There is a behavior section at the bottom of each day. If you don't see anything written by me, your child has a "green", or excellent, behavior report for the day. If there is any behavior issues during the day, I will write a note in the behavior section for the day.
READING: Students should be reading at least 20 minutes each night. Have them record the Title, Author, and minutes read in the reading section at the bottom of each day. There is a place for parents to initial that this has been done. ;)
SPELLING: Spelling words for the week will be recorded by students in the far right column of the week's agenda. Pace Language Arts students will have an extra 8 words per week.

Important School Paperwork and Grade Access!
First Day Packet Forms Available on txConnect Starting August 19
The district’s online tool, txConnect, allows LISD parents to easily monitor their child’s achievement throughout the school year. LISD parents can use txConnect to access their child’s grades and assignments, view and print their child’s interim progress reports and report cards, view their child’s STAAR (or TAKS) results, immunizations, attendance and student discipline reports. And beginning this year, parents can use txConnect to view, update and print first-day packet forms. Connecting to your child’s learning through txConnect is a simple, two-step process.
