News Week of 10/26

Progress Reports go home tomorrow. There will also be Science Necap Scores in their envelope. Please contact if you have any questions or we can discuss further at conferences. Miss Chrusciel and I noted in all progress reports that students can work on filling some of the gaps in their math by completing online iReady lessons that are available now. They just need to go to https://cainc.i-ready.com/ and sign in. Their username is their student number and password is their birthday (ex 22Dec2003) Please take the time to do this, Xtramath and/or Sumdogs a couple of times of week.

Students brought home their math test tonight. They need to explain to you what they have been studying and if they have mastered it. If not there were some available sites to practice. Here they are again.
