4YI-Four(th) Your Information
January 16-20, 2023
Hello families,
We are back in full effect! Along with all the learning that went on last week, we took a deep dive into skills each child is struggling with, this week we will be setting goals with them.We sent home report card reflection forms, your child's interim assessment report, and some students received tutorial permission slips. Parents, please remember we are halfway through the year and there is still a lot to learn, we take assessments to target instruction and to see what prior knowledge students have to solve problems they haven't explicitly been taught yet. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, we are always here to help your child succeed!
Have a great week!
