Good evening! I hope everyone is well rested and had a nice break. It is great to know we will be back to school tomorrow full throttle until the end of the year! We will be having state testing ELA-April 17-19 and Math-April 24-26. It is very important that your child completed their homework over break to reinforce skills and strategies taught throughout the year. They have worked very hard and I am confident that they will do a phenomenal job!
Please remember that your child should be in attendance each day during testing. It is crucial that they are on time and have a good night of rest in order to be successful. Encourage your child the night before and the day of. They need your approval! You may even write a letter to your child and place it in an envelope for them to open the morning of the test. Kind words help them a lot!
There will be homework this week in order to ensure routine and continue the structure in the classroom as well as at home. Remind your children to study their notebooks from ELA and Math this week and next week. All the skills, strategies, and concepts learned this year are all in there. They will be bringing them home on an nightly basis.
Reminder that our 5k will be this Saturday at 10:30 at Three Sisters Island in Niagara Falls. Your child has worked very hard and is eager to show off their learning and healthy habits. Thank you for the great support and turn out of those who are attending. If you signed your child up for the bus, they will be picked up at promptly 9:30 at the Doris Jones Center and brought back at approximately 1:30 to the same location. If not, please be sure to drop your child off at the race about 10:15 to stretch and get ready.
If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at 297-4520 ext. 7115 or kristinemcguire@niagaracharter.org. Have a great week!
