January Third Grade Newsletter
A Note From the Teachers
We hope you all had a wonderful winter break! As we enter the new year we will begin mid-year testing. This data will help us identify individual academic goals for our students. If you have any questions about testing or goals please do not hesitate to ask.
Additionally, please be sure you child is at school each day. We have to move quickly through third grade content, which means missing a day of school will put your child behind.
We can't thank you enough for all your support. Again, please let us know if you need anything.
Sincerely,
The Third Grade Team
Mrs. Wozniak, Ms. Kilgore, Ms. Dietz, Mrs. Smith, Dr. Shelton
