Dear Third Grade Families,
I hope all is well.
As we enter the second full week of our school please do make sure that your student is all set and ready. We will continue to practice our routines and will begin with our lessons and use our books and other school materials listed in their supply list. Please also find below updates.
STUDENT BEHAVIOR and WORK HABITS
* Students are expected to demonstrate personal best and responsible behavior.
* Must follow zoom expectations and TRIBES AGREEMENTS
* Points will be deducted from your student’s daily behavior grade if they are called upon multiple times for not following our tribes and zoom rules.
* Work habit grades will be their effort in completing and submitting all their classwork, homework, projects on time through Google Classroom.
* Joining and participating on zoom daily will also be part of your student’s grades.
PARENT’S ROLE (HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT YOUR CHILD AT HOME?)
- Ensure your student is ready for the day and can access Zoom.
- Support your student in having a learning space free of distractions.
- Avoid talking to your student while in session.
- Provide support and document struggles
- Communicate with the teacher about successes and struggles.
- Please practice your student uploading their classwork on their own, so they can do it independently.
ASSESSMENTS
* Students must give their personal best and complete the assessment independently.
* The purpose of the assessment is to show the teacher what they have learned.
* Remind your student that it is okay to make a mistake. Mistakes are valuable information for teachers.
* All assessments are scheduled. Parents and students will be informed when the assessments will take place.
ADDITIONAL REMINDER
I recommend that your student should not be using their device/s while on recess or lunch break. Students need to give their eyes a break from the screen.
In addition, I understand that our students need socialization and if you allow them to be on zoom with their friends please have them do it after school hours. Also, please remind your student not to use zoom without your supervision. We want to ensure the safety of our students.
STAR Reading Test Schedule(Names will be posted in Google Classroom and attached to this email)
STAR testing continues this week. Students must have two devices on their test days (one for zoom and one for testing). Also, please make sure that your student has the correct url saved or bookmarked in their device and is able to login into their renaissance account on their own. This will help us start the testing on time. Here is the correct linkhttps://global-zone52.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/306665.
* Monday (08/31) – Group A
* Tuesday (09/01) – Group B

Should you have any questions/concerns please do not hesitate to contact myself. Thank you all and God Bless! Stay Safe.
