INSTRUCTIONAL TIP!
By Kumar Thiagarajan
January 12th, 2018
Sometimes there’s no greater pain for students than coming across a dreaded math word problem.
When these questions show up on homework, math worksheets, pop quizzes, and tests, they give even the most confident students reason to pause and sit up a little straighter.
That’s because these problems take math understanding to the next level. They require children to use their reading and comprehension skills while also applying everything they’ve learned in math class.
Some students approach word problems like they’re solving a riddle, others tend to freeze and forget basic math concepts they normally understand.
Mastering the art of solving math word problems takes practice. It doesn’t normally “just come” to your child.
But there are 5 huge benefits to your child becoming a great math word problem solver — and you won’t want your child missing out on any of them.

How Can I Check My Child's Grades?
Skyward Family Access allows parents to access student report cards, grade books, attendance, discipline and test scores. You can log in using your username and password. If you do not have a username/ password, please call us so we can give you that information.
If at any time you become concerned about your child’s grades, you may call the school to schedule a team conference where you will have the opportunity to meet with your child’s teachers.
You can access Skyward Family Access by visiting our district's website and clicking on the parent tab or you may click the link: Skyward Access
We are here to support you! If you have any questions or need help accessing your child's grades please do not hesitate to contact us.
TUTORIALS
Note: There will be no tutorials the week of November 12th - November 16th, 2018
Here is the tutorial schedule:
Mondays: Science/Social Studies
Tuesdays: E.L.A.
Thursdays: Math
Tutorials are from 4:05 P.M. to 5:05 P.M. An activity bus will be provided for those students who require transportation. If you are picking your child up, we ask that you are at the school at 4:55 P.M. Regular dismissal procedures will apply to tutorials. If you have any questions regarding tutorials, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.
Attendance Matters!
Having your children attend school regularly is very important to us. We know that when students miss school, they miss out on important instruction and a chance to build a habit of good attendance. We encourage you to speak with your child about their attendance and the importance of them attending school regularly.
