RESPONSIBILITY

Our Explorer word for October is Responsible.  Each week when your child brings back their homework they are being responsible.  When you notice your child being responsible at home, (ex. doing chores, helping others without being asked), please drop me a note telling me what he/she has done!

PROGRESS REPORTS

Progress reports will come home on the 9th.  I appreciate your involvement in discussing with your child how they are doing at this time. For those who wish to improve their grades before report cards come out this is the time to encourage them to give their best effort and ask for help if they need it.

PARENTS+SCHOOL=SUCCESS

Thank you for the interest you show in your child’s papers.  This helps reinforce the hard work your child does and makes them feel each paper is worth doing their best on!  I really enjoyed meeting each of you that were able to come to Open House in September.

READING

This year we are so excited to have a brand new reading curriculum. It is called Trophies. After much research our district decided that this program does the best in integrating reading, language, and writing. I feel it does a terrific job in teaching the Essential Learning Requirements that our children need.
