Panther Planner
Week of September 28, 2020
A message from the Principal
Autumn is officially HERE! This is truly my favorite season of the year...the chill in the air, the warm colors of leaves, pumpkins, and delicious scents!....and it also marks our half-way point in the semester.
Please be on the lookout for information from your child's teacher about signing up for a virtual parent/teacher conference for the week of October 12 - 16.
Each day that week is a modified day with instruction from 8:55 -1:35 (NOTE ENDING TIME).
In next week's Panther Planner we will share some ways that you can prepare for your child's parent/teacher conference.
REMINDER:
Assessments are coming! Parents...as we get close to progress report time, teachers will be assessing student learning through more formalized assessments. When we are on campus, students complete these assessments in class independently so that teachers are able to see what it is that each child knows and what each child needs more practice with or more time to learn. We know and understand that you may want to help your child when they come to a task or question that is challenging for them...however, we ask that you let them figure it out for themselves. Words of encouragement such as...' Do the best you can.' and 'Think about what you know and have learned. ' and "You can do this." are all great and help students stay motivated on challenging tasks. Accurate assessment results of what the child can do independently are very important so that your child's teacher can plan appropriately leveled lessons for your child. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. We are happy to provide assistance in any way that we can. We are here to help!
Warmly,
Kim Parente
Principal
