FSA Parent Night
Please note, 5th grade's FSA Parent Night has been changed. The new date is Monday, 2/24 at 5:00 PM. As we approach our FSA testing dates, our staff has been digging into the data and collaborating on strategies to help our students become proficient and continue to make learning gains. Many times parents ask what kind of strategies they can use at home to help their child become more prepared for FSA.
Parents who are interested in learning more about the expectations of the FSA, as well as ways to help their child, are invited to FSA Parent Information Night. Dates and times for each grade level is listed below. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.
Reflex Math and Khan Academy
Here are some online activities that the children are already familiar with using. For math, spending some extra time every night, on Reflex Math or Khan Academy (grades 3--5) is an effective way for your child to increase his/her math fluency as well as build a better understanding of grade level math skills. Please reach out to your child's teacher, if your child does not know his or her username and password.
Family STEM Night Coming Up... Volunteers Needed
On February 25th between 6-8, in the OES Cafe, we will have our Family STEM Night.

We are in need of some parents to help with some of the science centers. If you are able to volunteer please use the link below to sign up. If you have any questions please contact Anne-Marie.Davis@capecharterschools.org.

A Message from Mrs. Gamboa...
Many students are reading to reach a milestone in the SSYRA Jr. (K-2) and SSYRA (3-5) Reading Program.
The deadline to read for a milestone is Monday, March 23, 2020 by 4:00 p.m. Note: They must have read at least 8 books to attend the Election Party and all 15 to earn a seat on the Battle of the Books along with earning 70% or higher on the AR Test.
For the 3-5 SSYRA books, we will continue to give out the dog tags through May 15, or until our supply is depleted.
Please make sure if your child is reading to reach a milestone of 3, 8, 12, or 15, that they advise their classroom teacher allowing their reading log card to be updated.
Thank you for encouraging your child to reach for the highest summit of READING!

Rainbow Reading
The K-2 Rainbow Reading Program is in full swing now. All students received the red reading log at the beginning of the school year. As you and your child read the books listed on the sheet and it is returned during their library visit, they will spin for a prize and receive the next colored log.
The goal is for students to read through the colors of a rainbow and reach "PURPLE". Then they will join us during our Purple People Party in May. During this party, students will wear purple, and eat purple foods, play games, and enjoy time with other readers.
If you need another red sheet, please send an email and include the student and his or her teacher's name to the request. Rhonda.Gamboa@CapeCharterSchools.org This is a fun time for your child to explore books in varying genres from your home and public library. Also, they can search for books in the school library during their Specials visit.
Thank you for supporting your child's education.
