Celebrating Milam
Dear Ben Milam Families,
We had a very busy but great week. Thank you for your support with our Art Auction, our Kinder Camp and our Perfect Attendance Pep Rally.
WE did it!! Thank you for your help with making sure our students are at school every single day! Our attendance rate for the 5th grading period went back up to 97%. Our goal for the 6th grading period is 98%. I know that with your help, we can do it. We will have our last perfect attendance pep rally on Friday, May 25, 2018 after Field Day.
This week is a very important week for our Kinder, 1st and 2nd grade students. Each of them will take the TerraNova/Supera math and reading test on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is a timed, norm-referenced test. Students will not receive a pass/fail grade but rather a comparison grade to see how they are doing compared to all other students who take this test. Scores will be available at the beginning of next year.
On Thursday and Friday of this week, we have 7 teachers who will be attending a math conference in Washington, D C. They will learn new, meaningful ways to incorporate technology into the math class. Ms. Rodriguez, Ms. Reynolds, Mrs. M. Hernandez, Ms. E. Hernandez, Mrs. Mayhew, Ms. Brea Lewis and Ms. L Alcorta will be attending the conference. All classes will be covered by substitute teachers or campus personnel.
Thank you for your continued support of Ben Milam Elementary!
