Second Marking Period
The second grading period will begin on Monday, November 2, 2009. Our first awards assembly will be held in the homeroom classes on Nov. 24th. Mrs. Hall's homeroom class awards will be at 9:00 am. Check with your homeroom teacher for your child's award ceremony time if your child is not in my homeroom.
Report cards are scheduled to go home on November 16th.
AR goals have been set for this grading period. The goals have increased from the first grading period. Please remind your child to keep reading in order to achieve his/her goal! Please sign your child's reading log each night.
Please remember to log in to the parent portal and complete the application for being a school volunteer.

AR & STAR
All fifth grade students will take the STAR test during the first few weeks of school. The results will be used to determine the individual A.R. Goal for the first semester. Students will take the STAR Test again in January, to determine their new goal for the second semester. Every student in a Gifted or TEAM class is expected to meet their goal. Each student will receive two grades that are averaged into their final reading grade each marking period. One grade is their percentage of goal. The second grade is their percentage correct. Students are expected to maintain a score of 80% or above for their percentage correct. All tests that are taken must be within their reading range.
Please remind your child to read each evening for 30 minutes. This is a home learning requirement. Students will not have a problem reaching their goal if they adhere to this schedule.
