News . . .
- Wednesday Folders/Files went home these last two weeks on Friday! This year the upper grades (4th through 6th grades) were not supplied with actual folders. The students receive their “files” and are expected to put their work and notices in their Homework Planners.
- Grades for assignments are being entered into our new system, Synergy. You should be able to access the grades using the Synergy ParentVUE. The grades entered so far do not include any test grades, which are worth a higher percentage of their overall grade than classwork and homework.
- I have been e-mailing the class via our Synergy system, and I was informed that the e-mailing system has had a few “bugs”. Some parents may not have received the e-mails and updates.
- Scholastic Book Orders were in last week’s Wednesday’s (Friday’s) folders/files. The orders are due this Thursday, August 10th. If you’d like to order on-line, our classroom Class Activation Code is: HZPJV
- The “Cold Comprehension” writing rubric with a sample writing went home today for your child to share with you how they will be graded on the twice – three times monthly tests.
