PROGRESS REPORTS: Teachers will take a snapshot of the grade book on Monday, November 7 for progress reports. Progress reports with comments will be available at the end of the day on Friday, November 11. You can access the progress report by going to your child’s grade book -> Click on the link dated November 7, 2022 on the right hand side of the screen. Please keep in mind that the grades shown on this progress report can be misleading. Your child may well have an “A” in a class. However, this “A” may be based on only 1 or 2 assessments that they have turned in so far, when really 8 or 9 assessments should be turned in according to the planner. Some teachers may put in temporary zeros to give you a more accurate picture of your student’s grade. If you have any questions, be sure to contact your child’s WCA teacher.

 

LITERACY CORNER: This month’s Literacy Corner will focus on how parents can support their child’s reading by encouraging reading at home: LITERACY CORNER

SAVE YOUR MATH WORK!: In order to better assist your child in math, it is helpful for the teachers to view the daily math work. Therefore, all daily work will need to be submitted to the teacher at the end of each unit. If all the daily work is received, full credit will be awarded.
