Greetings Chaffee Families,
I hope your family has had a wonderful holiday break! We are looking forward to an awesome semester and can't wait to see our students back at school on Tuesday, January 6! Please make sure laptops are charged and backpacks are packed and ready for Tuesday morning.
We want our students to be Number Ninjas! A Number Ninja packet was sent home with each student prior to the break. The signed form needs to be returned to school Tuesday for a special treat—put it in your child’s backpack now. We have exciting rewards for students who become Number Ninjas!
Middle of the Year testing begins this week! All students will participate in i-Ready Math testing this week and i-Ready Reading testing next week. Next week all Kindergarten-3rd graders will take part in middle of the year DIBELS testing. DIBELS testing is completed one-on-one and takes about 10 minutes per student. Please encourage your child to do his/her best so that our teachers know how to best support your child(ren).
Report cards will be sent home in Wednesday Folders this Friday. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s grades be sure to reach out to his/her teacher.
The very best way you can help your student’s academic achievement is by making sure that (s)he reads nightly for 20 minutes or is read to nightly for 20 minutes. Reading together is fun, educational, and makes memories for years to come. Reading together is the difference maker!
Please remember that students need tennis shoes/sneakers for PE daily. Wearing proper shoes prevents injuries.
You can still purchase your child's yearbook online.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
