Weekly Update 10-1-14

Earbuds

We are using our iPads more and more each day. It helps our students if they are able to hear what they are working on when using their iPads. We have some headphones/earbuds, but not enough for each child. If you can, would you please send in a labeled set of headphones/earbuds for your child? Thank you!

Progress Reports

Progress reports will go home next Friday, October 10, 2014. It is important that any missing/late work or fix-it tickets are returned by next Monday, October 6, 2014, so that we have time to modify the grades in PowerSchool prior to our deadline. We would like to stress the importance of making sure that Home Links and other assignments are returned on time. If they are not, your student looses points. If assignments aren't turned in at all, they become zero grades. Third grade is the beginning of your child's grading "career," and as such, we want it to be positive.

Snacks

Please send healthy snacks with your child for snack time. Candy is not allowed to be consumed during this time.

Book-It

The Book-It reading calendar went home with your child this week. Reading at home is so important! Please be sure to set aside some time to read with your child and help them meet their monthly reading goal. If this goal is met, your child will earn a free personal pan pizza certificate for Pizza Hut!
