Sixth Grade Raider Report

Quarter 4    Week 5

                                        April 25-29

This week we will be testing ISTEP+ on Tuesday and Wednesday. The test is important and has meaning for your child, the teachers, the schools, and the state.  We take it seriously, BUT, it is just one way that your child “shows what they know”!  We will have instruction throughout the week and your child will still have assignments and requirements due.  Please encourage them to do their best!

Student have an information letter, permission slips, and waiver forms that must be read, signed, and returned by Wednesday, May 4.  We will be contacting the parents that will be going as chaperones.  It should be a great trip!

Attention:  Parents

Kelly Harmon will be creating a video for 6th grade graduation.  She is requesting a picture of your child from his/her Kindergarten year.  The picture can be sent via email or hard copy.   The hard copy photo can be sent in to your child's teacher and Kelly will collect them.  (The hard copy picture will be returned.)  This is NOT mandatory.  However, if no kindergarten picture is received, just remember that your child's picture will not be in the video.  Deadline for picture submission is Friday, April 29th.  Pictures and/or questions can be sent directly to Kelly at mkharmon4@gmail.com.

Thank you!!!
