Dear Fourth Grade Families,
I hope you all enjoyed the festivities and celebrations this past week for Catholic Schools Week! The students enjoyed making cards and writing letters to their parents, teachers, administrators, and staff members. It was a truly wonderful week, in which we were reminded of the great blessing it is to attend Catholic school, as well as all the stakeholders — students, teachers, parents, and staff — that work together to make St. Anthony of Padua such a great school.
Below is all the information that you and your child will need for this week, February 5 to February 9:
Progress Reports
On Wednesday, February 7th, I will be sending your child’s progress reports and STAR test results. With that being said, any missing/incomplete homework will reflect on your child’s grades. Please check Gradelink if your child is missing any homework and reach out to me directly if you have any concerns or questions. Please keep in mind that the progress report is just a snapshot of where your child is at right now. Final Grades will be given at the end of the 2nd trimester.
