Ms. Lindsay's Letter
May 27th
Hello Homeroom Students!
Hi everyone!
Remember to focus on your DAILY PLAN each day and work your expected attendance hours. K-2 4 hours a day 3-5 5 hours a day. With this daily work your year end totals will reach k-2 goal of 720 and 3-5 goal of 900.
About this Newsletter:
I will be working on sending out a Monthly newsletter this year. I will be updating it weekly on Fridays, but only sending you the reminder email once a month.
In this Newsletter, you will find updates on what is going on at the k12 International Academy, in my homeroom, what your current progress goals are, work samples due, and much more! You can feel free to book mark this site and check back to reference it and see the updates as well!
Please always keep in mind your term # and the school year you are in. It can get a little confusing as we have 14-15 students and 15-16 students going at the same time. The topics will be noted with the year (14-15 or 15-16) that the info pertains to.
Do you want to contact me? The best way to reach me is by Skype.

Smiling,

Beginning the Year
Welcome Back to School! We are very excited to be beginning the 2015-16 School Year. There are many important things to keep in mind as you start.
- Everyone is required to attend One Policy and Procedure Meeting per year and one Getting Started in Lower School Session. (See dates and times below)
- All students 2nd grade and above take Scantron Assessment for Reading and Math. Refer to your kmail for login instructions.
- Follow the daily/weekly plan and complete all assignments that are listed to stay on track!
- Add me on Skype to keep in contact regularly and ask questions!

15-16 New Students - Reminders/Tips
~~Gettting Started in Lower School Orientations~~
If you do not get to come to the Orientation/ Info Session watching the recording will catch you up to speed on what we want to make sure you know as you begin your school year... expectations, goals, how we connect, navigating the OLS, attendance, etc....
Progress: These are %'s to guide you along the way with your progress. They are not perfect but a close guide for you to use. Goals are for Monday of the week listed. If you want to know exactly how many lessons you have completed in each course compared to how many are expected as of today, let me know. I can send it to you in kmail or Skype.
