NWEA and Parent Teacher Conferences

Hello everyone. Sorry for the slight delay since the last post. When creating this site at the beginning of the year I really had high expectations for updating it more regularly. However, time seems to slip by faster each week. So I apologize for those that continue to access the sight looking for daily homework assignments. I will try to improve on this.

As it stands right now we are in the middle of taking the NWEA test for the fall. This is a series of three test, math, language arts, and reading, that help gauge students progress throughout the year. Friday was our fist test, math, and today we finished the reading portion. A week from today we will conclude with the language arts test. I am proud of the class for their effort in the computer lab. I know that just after taking ISTEP the last thing you want to think about is another test. Keep up the good work everyone.

We are also getting ready to start our Parent Teacher Conferences. There are two half days set up the first two days of November for PTC however, I prefer to do mine a bit differently. To ensure quality conferences and my own sanity of not having to conference from noon to nine, I like to schedule them over the course of a few weeks. Last week I sent home a sign up sheet for each parent to fill out. I would like each parent to please put your top three time choices on this sheet and send it back to me. I will figure out which of your time slots are still available and then send a slip home that same day confirming your day and time. If you are unable to make any of the time slots please let me know and we can make other arrangements. Thank you for your cooperation with this. I hope to see you all soon.
