Trimester 3 Has Begun, Spring Conferences Begin This Week

Dear Anna Yates Families,


On Friday, May 10th, we sent Trimester 2 report cards home. Tis was an opportunity for us to share your child's progress using our standards based report card. Along with report cards were the results of the iReady Benchmark 2 so that you are able to track their growth on this schoolwide assessment. This can also be an opportunity to ask about iReady usage, how often they complete lessons, and what they can do to reach their typical and stretch goal by the end of the year.


For a small cohort of students per class, we have reached out to you to schedule a second parent-teacher conference (March 15 and 22) in an effort to continue to communicate and collaborate on how to move your child's learning forward.


Thank you and I look forward to continued collaborate for our final trimester of this school year!


Sincerely,

Mrs. Burke
