Hard to believe that we've been back almost a week. We've hit the ground running and the class is doing great. It's almost Fall and it will be getting cooler hopefully. Please check the weather each day to see if you need a jacket before coming to school.
One thing to remember coming up. Monday September 18th is Back To School Night. Also, Monday September 25th is an inservice day for teachers. There is no school that day.
Report Cards/Grading
Standards-based assessment and reporting helps teachers specifically target instruction to meet student needs and provides parents/guardians with better feedback about student strengths and weaknesses.

The student is beginning to grasp and apply key concepts, processes, and skills. for mastery. The student extends and applies knowledge beyond the targeted goal. A “4” is difficult to obtain and indicates unusually high achievement.
“3” – MEETING STANDARDS – indicates that a student has proficient understanding and is meeting grade level standards by consistently grasping and applying key concepts, processes, and skills. A “3” is something to celebrate!

“1” – NEEDS SUPPORT – indicates that a student has minimal understanding and is not meeting grade level standards. The student will need interventions to grasp key concepts, processes, and essential skills.
