Dear Parents,

Dear Parents,

CRCT Math & Reading remediation will begin this week. In fact, our class began 2-hour math sessions this morning. We were scheduled to complete our graphing and data analysis instruction this morning, and we’ll be focusing on circumference & areas of circles for the rest of the week.

Learning new math skills and reviewing/mastering skills learned previously are critical to students’ success, not just for the CRCT retest, but also as a foundation for sixth grade math. To maximize their chances of success, students need to focus on and complete all math tasks when they are assigned. To that end, MATH ASSIGNMENTS CAN NO LONGER BE TURNED IN LATE.

Take-Home folders will not go home this week as they were sent home on Thursday, May 21.

Reminders:
All make-up work is due by this Friday, May 29.

Issues involving pictures, picture money, lunch money, after school bills/fines must all be cleared up in order to received your child’s year-end report card.

As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Working together for student success,
Mrs. Pede
