Whats New? The October Character Trait is SELF-CONTROL. Weekly Quizzes September: Responsibility
10/18 and 10/20 Parent/Teacher Conferences I have sent a couple of emails regarding Sign-up Genius to sign up for parent/teacher conferences. Ill send home notes in about a week with available time slots for those of you that havent signed up yet. Putting Forth Our Best Effort Please pay close attention to the grades that are coming home this week in Friday folders. I am noticing a decrease in attention to detail and double-checking work. Please encourage your child to closely read the directions and to take the time to go back and double check their work. It is very rare that there is a time restraint on how long students are given to take a test as long as they are making progress. I often tell them that I would prefer they take longer to take a test if they are taking their time and doing their best!
