You can access your child's first quarter report card grades and comments on line. We will discuss your childs grades, MAPs test scores, and ISAT scores (taken in spring of 4th grade), as well as their work and study habits. I look forward to meeting with you.
The Late Policy for 2nd Quarter

More than 1 day late until unit test is taken - minus 25%
After unit test is taken - a zero in the grade book
HALLOWEEN:
Students may bring their costume to school on Wednesday. The costume might need to be simplified for school purposes since students need to be able to change in a short amount of time. Changing will take place in the classrooms. The fifth grade will have designated classrooms for girls to change in and for boys. Washrooms will not be available for costume changing. No weapons, even fake, are allowed at school.
