Please help your children understand that school is in session for three more weeks. This week we had only 3 children finish all their work and that was only with extra time. This is so frustrating! When children miss 26 on a read and think, you know that they are not even reading directions or the story. They don't care and that is so sad for them. Even the art teacher had to get on them today for their behavior and lack of good work ethic. Please talk with your child.

We will keep up our daily regular schedule through the next two weeks. On the last Monday and Tuesday the students will take the language and math end of level tests. These scores go on the progress report for the permanent cumulative folder that follows them through 12th grade. I won't have time to administer the tests again if they are absent. So please have them here.

Several children didn't return their library books today. Look for a reminder from Mrs. Stucki so you know which books your child still has out. She needs them returned by Monday. If you can't find them, she also listed the replacement cost that will need to be paid.

Reading back through, this letter sounds so discouraging. Let's all help the kids end on a very positive note. Thank you for your help!
