Class News
v Conference week is fast approaching! Please come prepared with any questions/concerns you might have about your child.
v We have a Spelling test tomorrow! Study hard!
v Due to the short month, there will not be a book report for the month of January.
v Congratulations to Katie who got runner up in the school Spelling Bee!
v Please hold your child accountable EVERY night for their homework, agenda, and reading log. We have started a strict policy—everyone is responsible for ALL of their work. If your child does not have their homework, they are completing it at lunch and during recess! If they forget their agenda/reading log, please write a quick note signing that they have completed it. This will suffice! We have had a lot of students without homework. Let’s change that!
Just a Reminder:
v Every Friday is school spirit day! Wear your spirit wear on Fridays! Spirit wear can be ordered from PTA.
v I send home failing test grades to be corrected. Please review these tests with your students and sign that you have seen the test. I only allow one night to make up these tests. It is very important that the tests come back corrected the next day.
v You can find a complete list of AR books on the school website if your child is at home and would like to know if a book qualifies for AR.
Dates to Remember:
v January 26th-30th- Early Dismissal for Conferences
Report cards go home

Get your Reading Log initialed by your parents EVERY night! I will be checking!
