Week of 3/27 - 3/31

Supplemental Online Helpers
  • Parents, don't forget to log onto GreatMinds. Remember that Homework Helpers and Parent Tip Sheets are provided for each module that is covered in class and the lessons within them. This is a great aid to you as the parent when you sit with your child and help them with homework.
  • iReady is an online tool that works at your child's pace and level. It works towards slowly increasing skill development in both math and reading. I ask parents to have their child work on it daily if possible (especially those whom their child is struggling to meet academic standards) for a simple 20 minutes. 
  • IXL is another great reinforcement tool that can be used at home with your child. Both ELA and Math can be practiced on a weekly bases by your child.
  • Superkids Online Portal is available to students at home to practice their sound blending in order to read words and sentences. Both online games and books can be accessed for reinforcement.
Reminders
  • Friday, March 31st - Stations of The Cross at 10:30 am parents are welcomed to join us.
  • Thursday, April 6th - Parents are welcomed to join us at 9:00 am for the annual Spring Show (students will be allowed to wear dress down clothes but NO Jeans or Sneakers).
  • Friday, April 7th - Parent Teacher Conferences for Report Cards.
  • iReady usernames and passwords were sent home and students should have logged on over the weekend to complete homework assignments. Reminder that homework on iReady is checked and graded. iReady will greatly aid those students who need the help and push them to improve math skills.
