Februray 28th

Good morning,

I hope that you have a fun filled weekend planned for your family!

I wanted to take a minute to give you a few tidbits of information. 

1. Parent teacher conferences
Please click on the link

Conference Scheduler
This will allow you to schedule a parent teacher conference. If you would prefer to meet with me before school, please email me directly and we can set that up. 

2. TCAP 
Starting on Tuesday students will be TCAP testing. Fifth grade will test from 11:00-12:30 and then 1:20-1:50. Those times may vary a bit depending on the amount of directions for the specific testing sessions.

Please help your child be successful by ensuring they have a good night of sleep, breakfast, lunch, a water bottle, and a healthy snack each day.  

3. Homework
During TCAP students will not have typical homework. Math homework will resume the week of March 17th. Wordly Wise & spelling will be back the week of April 7th, and reading response letters will pick back up the week of April 14th.

For homework students might have some Young AmeriTowne vocabulary work, check writing, or other economics activities to complete and they will be encouraged to do something active for 30 minutes! The testing format is a shift from our typical school day so I want them to get out any extra energy that builds up during the day. 
 
4. Young AmeriTowne
The link to register now has all five fifth grade teachers! Please let me know when you have completed the online registration.

Thank you for sharing your incredible child with me each day,
