Good Afternoon Fourth Grade Families,
I hope this email finds you well. Here’s a look at what's coming up for the week of Apr.7-Apr.11. 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:- May 27: 3rd Trimester Mass Reflection (10 reflections required)
April 13, is Palm Sunday, and we invite all families to join us for our 11:00 AM Family Mass. This special Mass will mark the beginning of Holy Week and is a wonderful opportunity for our students who attend in their Formal Mass Uniforms can check in with a parent volunteer at the choir and will receive a Free Dress Pass.

Reading Assessments (Mon-Wed)
This week, I will be conducting a few reading assessments with the students, including Oral Reading Fluency, Vocabulary, and Spelling. These assessments will help determine each child's current reading level and guide my instruction moving forward.
To help your child do their best, please ensure they come to school well-rested, having had a good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast.
Monday 4/14:
Fourth Grade P.E
We will be having P.E on Monday with Mrs. Rubalcava instead of Wednesday. Please make sure that students are wearing their P.E uniforms on MONDAY!
Wednesday -All School Mass
We will have an All-school Mass on Wednesday. All students must wear formal mass uniform.
Progress Report
Progress reports will be going home on Wed., Apr. 16. Please take a moment to check Gradelink to see if your child has any missing homework. If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to reach out to me directly—I’m here to help.
As a reminder, the progress report is simply a snapshot of where your child is at right now. There is still plenty of time for grades to improve before final grades are issued at the end of the 3rd trimester.
Holy Thursday- All School Lenten retreat
This Thursday 4/17 is a noon dismissal. We will only have pretzels and water for our snack, and we will have a “sacrificial” walking recess to recognize the solemnity of Holy Thursday. Students may wear their PE uniform. Please do not provide snacks for your child that day.
Classroom Needs- white board markers
Third graders are in need of black, blue, and purple whiteboard markers for our classroom. If you are able to donate any, it would be greatly appreciated!
Tests
Please note that tests are often discussed in class, therefore based on completion of material we are adjusting tests/ quizzes taken.
Wednesday- Math: Symmetry and Pattern Test 04/15
- Religion: Session 11 ( study guide will be provided
As we gear up for an exciting school year filled with learning and growth, I wanted to share a wonderful opportunity to further enhance our classroom experience.
