Make Plans to Attend Upcoming Title 1 APTT Night(s)
At Evansdale, we believe that parent-teacher relationships are essential for student academic support. For that reason, we strongly encourage all parents to attend your student's APTT (Academic Parent-Teacher Team) Night. Parents of Kindergarteners - 2nd Graders will meet on Tuesday, February 21st, at 5:30 p.m. Parents of 3rd-5th graders will meet on Thursday, February 23rd, at 5:30 p.m. Childcare will be provided both nights.
What Parents Can Expect on APTT Night?
- The Opportunity To Participate in Warm Up Activities
- To Receive Your Student's MAP Growth Report
- To Receive Information on Student Support at Home
- To Receive a Selection of a Few IXL Math and ELA Skills to Work on at Home
- An Introduction to Student/Parent Study Guides (3rd-5th grades only)
We look forward to seeing you on one or both APTT Nights. Our goal is to have 100% of Eagle Parents attend on your scheduled APTT Night. As always, we are excited about our partnership and know as it continues to grow, so will your student's academic success.
Sincerely,
Luci Chattman
Principal
