Week of 2/24-2/28
-
Dear Fourth Grade Guardians,
I hope this email finds you well. Here’s a look at what's coming up for the week of Feb. 24 -Feb.28. Please make sure to read all the important information below to avoid any questions that may already be addressed. If you missed any email, you can find updates on my school blog:https://nnolva.sites.ecatholic.com/fourth-grade
Deadlines:- February 24: 2nd Trimester Mass Reflection (7 reflections required)
- March 5: Black History Month Lapbook
This Monday, February 24, our 3rd graders will have Confession in the morning. Since we did not have time for reflection last week, I have asked the students to do their reflection at home to help prepare themselves. Please remind your child to take some time over the weekend to reflect and prepare for their confession.
Helping your student in 4th grade
Parents, as you are going through your child Gradelink, please note that I am trying my best to make a helpful comment: Absent/ No work provided/No Name. I have a bin with "No Name" work. Please ask your child to check the bin as I have a lot of "no names" work/projects.
Behavior/Work Habit Grades
This week, behavior and work habits will be updated in a similar way that was done at the beginning of the trimester. I want to thank all of you for putting notes and reading through my comments on Behavior chart. This has helped your child daily behavior as well as work habit. Please read comments next to the grades and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns or questions.
Missed tests and Make-up policy
Parents, please email me if your child will be staying after school to make up missed tests. Failure to do so will result in your child receiving an IC (Needs Improvement) on their missed tests. Make-up test days will be scheduled based on availability, as I have meetings on some days.
Finalizing Grades & Deadlines
I will start finalizing grades this week. If your child has any missing classwork, homework, projects, or tests, I will only accept them by Wednesday, February 26th—no exceptions.
Additionally, AR goals and ST Math goals deadline are extended and also due by Wednesday, February 26th.
Fri. 2/28
I will be out on Friday this week, and there will be a substitute in my place. Our class schedule and routine will remain the same, and students will still be expected to take all their tests as planned. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me.
