We have now officially started the 3rd Trimester of fifth grade. During the third trimester, the late policy will be the same as Lakeview's policy. This will help the students realize the importance of getting work completed on time and the penalty that will affect their grades for late work. It will also make a better transition to Lakeview.
Third Trimester Late Policy: 1 day late - minus 25%
More than 1 day late until test is taken - minus 50%
After unit test is taken - a zero is entered in the grade book
REPORT CARDS are issued on Tuesday.
Parent/Teacher conferences are being held this week.
No School on Friday, March 4th and Monday, March 7th!
ISAT TESTING: The 5th grade schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
Math 8:15 - 9:30 & Reading 9:45-10:30
Please make sure your child is healthy, well rested, and has eaten a healthy breakfast to ensure
successful test taking!
A snack break will be in homeroom between math and reading ISAT testing.
Please mark your calendars for March 15th for the Parent Connect meeting to learn more about how to interpret your child's MAPS scores.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK ORDERS: Due Wednesday!
The choices in the Arrow and Tab orders for March are great! This is one of the best book orders I have seen!
**Miss Trefonas will not be at school on Tuesday. I am letting you know this because I often get emails from parents to give a message to their child during the day. If you need this type of help, please email the office on Tuesday. The office will get the message to the substitute!
