As we approach the halfway point to the semester, please make sure you are checking behavior sheets daily, students who have lost their sheet should still be bringing home paper with their scores written on them. Students have been very social this past week, causing them to come home on lower than expected behavior scores. Also, make sure you are checking Focus regularly. Grades are updated weekly and many students are missing assignments or getting low scores on assignments due to not completing their work and socializing. Midterm/Progress Reports will be sent home on Friday 4/30. Yearbooks are still available to be ordered. Please see the attached flyer. Thank you to all who have already contributed to our classroom needs. We still are in need of:

It has been a wonderful week back. I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing all the stories of family adventures during our time away from school. Each year students grade 3rd-8th take various forms of standardized state assessments. Although testing was cancelled last year due to COVID, it is back to being a requirement for our students per Florida Statute 1008.22.f. All students must take the FSA test in school, no remote administrations are available for any statewide summative assessments. The importance of your child taking these assessments is to assist the school in proper placement for the 2021-2022 school year. This includes identifying gifted, possible acceleration opportunities leading up to middle school, or intensive supports next year. Further, our students historically excel on these assessments. They are important to the teachers and administrators because they provide helpful data on the quality of our curriculum, instruction, and programs. In short, we use these assessments to improve everything they do. To help your student become comfortable with the item types and response formats, the following resources including Paper-Based Practice Tests and Answer Keys, are available at: https://fsassessments.org/students-and-families/practice-tests/paper-based-materials/paper-based-practice-test-materials.stml 4th Grade Testing Schedule 4th Grade Writing- Tuesday, April 8th (make ups until April 30th) 4th Grade ELA- Monday May 3rd and Tuesday May 4th (make ups until May 28th) 4th Grade Math- Monday May 10th and Tuesday May 11th (make ups until May 28th) What will my student be learning next week?
