Hello!
Dear Parents and Students,
We are so excited to begin the school year. We always look forward to to fresh start and feel that this year is going to be a great one! Here you will find all the latest news for the entire fifth grade, which will be updated every Monday and you will get a link to access it every week.
Each teacher has a website where you can find homework assignments to print and individual class updates.
Please take note of the school calendar for this year found here.. We are encouraging students to only miss 10 days of school in the entire year. Click here to read the research of why this is so important.

Reminders
A friendly reminder that school shirts must be red, white, or navy (not other shades of blue) and have a collar. Shoes need to be close-toed. Sweaters need to be plain with no logos and in the school colors.
Early out is every Friday. School is out at 12:45.
Attendance Reminder
Did you know that missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence—excused or unexcused—can translate into students having difficulty learning to read by the third grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school? Missing 10% of school days, just 2 days each month, can have a significant impact on education. It is our goal for students to miss less than 10 days of school each year. You can check your student's attendance online through Aspire or by calling the front office.
