News from the Nurse
This link is a notice from our nurse regarding Strep Throat. Please do what you need to do to keep your children healthy! Also, there was a sheet sent home today in purple folders regarding the flu vaccine. Please read carefully. If you want your child to participate, you will need to give consent using the form that was attached to the sheet. I do not have this one electronically.
News from the PTA
The link will lead you to the flyer regarding the Direct Donation Drive. This is a great program. You can just donate some money to the PTA and not have to ask your family and friends to buy things from a catalog. Look at the flyer and then decide is you can donate.
Reflections
This is a great way for your student to show their artistic abilities. This link will have the flyer that tells about Reflections, the category description flyer, and the student entry form.
Science Explorations
Thank you to all who signed up for donating items for this activity. We will need all items by October 13. This is going to be a fun way to wrap up this unit!
District Common Assessments and Grade Level Assessments
This year, RRISD has implemented District Common Assessments (DCA). They are small tests for each unit in Math, Reading, Writing, and Science. They usually consist of 4-6 questions. As teachers, we have decided to add questions to the DCA in order to take an assessment grade. We can only send home the questions that the 3rd grade teachers put together. We have been told by the district that we can not send home the DCA questions. As a parent, you can come to the classroom and review your student's DCA results. Just let me know when you would like to come.
Picture Day
Picture Day is Thursday, October 29. Have your child bring their best smile!
Fall Goal Setting Conference
If you have not signed up for a conference, please do so as soon as possible. If none of the available slots work for your schedule, let me know and we can find a time that will work.
Tutoring
I am tutoring a couple of students on Tuesday and Thursday. If you feel that your student needs some extra help on something, please let me know what that concept is and when he/she can stay after school. We usually work until 3:45 or 4. If I feel that your child would benefit from staying, I will contact you individually.
