Attention, Attention! Blue Ribbon School Survey
IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE THE SURVEY, THEN YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO COMPLETE IT. PLEASE COMPLETE BY OCTOBER 27, 2021.
As you know, Wallace Gregg Elementary School is committed to creating the best learning environment for all our students. In order to continuously improve, we are going to be receiving valuable feedback from the Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence onsite team during the week of November 15, 2021.
As part of this visit, survey responses from our parents will be taken into account. On Monday, October 18, a survey will be sent to you to complete. Wallace Gregg is aiming for 40% of the parents to complete the survey. By completing this survey, we have an opportunity to identify and celebrate our strengths and identify opportunities for growth. We must continue to look for opportunities to grow, so we can better and more strategically address each student's needs, goals, and aspirations!
I am asking you to take a 15 min survey about Wallace Gregg Elementary School's Strengths and Challenges. This confidential survey needs to be done no later than October 21, 2021. Please check your email for the survey. Your child will also bring home a letter regarding the survey on Monday, October 18, 2021. Thank you in advance for completing the survey.

Book It Program at Wallace Gregg Elementary
R.E.A.D.ing is AWESOME! This year so far our students have been making great progress with building stamina, fluency, comprehension, and completing R.E.A.D.ing logs. To reward our students' efforts, they have all been entered into the Book It program. The Book-It program allows students to receive a free personal pan pizzas for reaching their reading goals. This week letters will be sent out to students so that parents will be able to use a QR scanner to confirm permission for their students to participate in the program. In order to receive a Book-It pizza coupon, students will need to read 20 minutes daily ( during R.E.A.D), and correctly complete their R.E.A.D.ing logs correctly. Each Friday, their teacher will sign students’ R.E.A.D.ing logs. At the end of the month, the students will receive their Book-It coupon for a free personal pan pizza. Their teacher’s signature will indicate that students have read for 20 minutes daily and correctly completed their R.E.A.D.ing logs. Please encourage your student to R.E.A.D. We look forward to rewarding their efforts!
Sincerely
Mrs. Pressley, Literacy Coach
