Dear Families:
We are currently in a preliminary tiebreaker round for our National Geography Bee. We have five fifth graders who tied for second place to move on to the school competition. I am very proud of these fifth graders. I will announce the finalists after the tiebreaker round.
MAP testing went well and I look forward to examining the scores and making plans for continued growth.
Remember, if a student has been absent due to illness, he or she has the same number of days gone to complete missing work. For example, if four days were missed, all work is expected within four days. This can be daunting as the regular work continues. Thank you for your support in helping the students stay accountable to their responsibilities as fifth graders.
Carpe Diem!
