5th Grade Weekly Update
Dear Parents,
We’re three full weeks into the new school year and the students have really begun to impress me. I remain quite impressed with the organizational skills shown by all of the students and many of them are beginning to show that they understand the importance of study skills that we have been learning in Science and Social Studies. They will need these in the upcoming weeks as we write a number of tests and complete some assignments in preparation for the first quarter reports that will be sent home next month.
Please note that next Monday, September 25th has been set aside as a Professional Development day for teachers. Although all staff are required to be at school on the day, students will not attend and will return to school on Tuesday.
