Georgia Milestones testing continues this week with 4th grade math. At Comer, we view the Milestones assessments as an opportunity for our students to "show what they know." If you have any questions as your child prepares to take the Milestones, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or to Mr. Sikes, who coordinates the administration of the assessments.
We also plan to reward our students who demonstrate STAR behavior during the Milestones! Information was sent home before Spring Break, and 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are working to earn points each day of the Milestones so that they can earn a field trip in May! Points are based on STAR behavior and making use of test-taking strategies that have been discussed in class.

May Reminders!
We are excited to be able to return to our "normal" procedures for this spring! This means we will be welcoming parents and families for our spring events at Comer Elementary! Please refer to the visitor procedures Dr. Sailors sent home, as well as information sent home about each event. Thank you for helping us to create a welcoming and safe school community!
Here are some things you can do to help your child be ready to start each day!
Our cafeteria serves a hot breakfast every morning, and it is FREE for all students! Take something off your plate in May and let us help feed the kids breakfast :)
Make sure your child has their agenda with any notes about transportation changes.
Whenever your child is absent, please send a note.
May Calendars
Because this newsletter is published on Facebook for the general public, we do NOT share information about field trips due to safety concerns. Please make sure you are connected to the grade level REMIND or ClassDojo because grade levels share more information about field trips and special events through those apps.
