It is the week of checkpoints. We will be doing this week a little different. We will take more time to focus on correct, smart test taking strategies before we actually take each test. We will also be starting Monday and Tuesday for checkpoints. This helps us get them completed before Wednesday (field trip day). Here are some reminders for the week: 1. Please do not forget about Parent Conferences. If you need to cancel or reschedule just drop me a note. 2. October 2nd is the start for Fall Break. We return October 9, 2017. 3. Checkpoints are Monday and Tuesday early in the morning. Please try not to be tardy those days! 4. AR goals are due at the end of this week. Report cards go home after Fall Break. 5. Please remember your snack days as this helps keep the snack box full with choices. Students are also permitted to bring their own snack if they are not interested in the group snack time. 6. Don’t forget to be at school on-time for the field tip to the Farm Day. The buses will leave at 10 AM. ————-- Thank you for your support! -Mr. McDannald | Reminders: |

We are moving right along. My grade book is filling up and the AR goals are being met! We have quite a busy week. Here are some reminders for the week: 1. Open House is after the PTA meeting scheduled for September 12, 2017 @ 6:30 PM. 2. Sign up through Bloomz for Parent-Teacher conference.

Permission slips for the Farm Day Tour field trip needs to be in by Friday Sept. 22 for lunch count purposes. - - - We should finish the second unit of our math book by this Friday or next Monday.
