Dear Parents,
I was pleased to see so many of you at the Open House on Sunday, September 13. I hoped you enjoyed visiting your child's classroom.
On Tuesday, September 8th I sent home the Christian Behavior Rubric for Conduct. We talked about the different levels of behavior. We talked about what kind of behavior was expected of them if they wanted an A, B,C, or D grade in Conduct. I would appreciate it if you would go over the Rubric with your child. If you have already discussed it with your child, thank you for doing that.
Progress Reports go home on Friday, September 18th. The Progress Report is to give you an indication of your child's growing skills and maturity in his/her grade level and not their academic future. The report is a part of the communication between school and home in terms of their current progress. Try not to compare your child with their classmates. Many children and parents have been discouraged and hurt when comparing, forgetting that the progress of one child can in no way compare to the progress of another. Everyone is an individual and is evaluated as such.
Several of you mentioned at the Open House that your child really liked doing the First In Math
computer program. As a school we hope to see some progress in Math computations.
Have a wonderful week.
