Happy Monday!
Today was exceptionally busy with library, language arts lessons, and a social lesson from Mrs. Clendening, so we did not get to conference one-on-one with all students during language arts. Therefore, some kiddos have their Reading Counts reports in their data binders, and some do not. They ALL should have their Word Study Assessments if you are wanting to see their scores, but may not actually bring home their data binders until tomorrow when they get the Reading Counts reports. Everyone will have updated binders tomorrow when we can finish up conferencing with them.
Students have one week to review the new items added and get their data binders signed by an adult. There is a Parent Signature section at the very front of the data binder. We are giving 5 Dojo points for getting it signed within a week (just needs to be an adult at home) and we are now going to start deducting 5 Dojo points if they do not have it signed. We have a lot of students who are not sharing language arts and math assessment scores with family and that is where we will be placing those all year. We want you to be in the loop. If your child hasn't brought their binder home, please have a conversation with them about it. They are reminded almost daily, here at school, and we have a feeling some are choosing not to follow through. We will be sending home NWEA, ISTEP, report cards, and grade information in their binders as well. Please watch for those over the next few weeks. They will be placed in front near the Parent Signature page. All data can stay in the binder until at least mid-year. We will purge as needed if it becomes to bulky.
Thanks and have a wonderful week! We appreciate you!
