Busy week ahead!!!

 MCAS Long Composition is this Thursday!  The kids are going to do a great job as they have worked very hard on their writing this year.  Please have them bring an extra healthy snack on this day as well as a book to read when they finish.

Family tree project AND the packet are due this Friday!

 

Report Cards go home on Tuesday.  Please sign the envelope and send it back to school with your child.  If you have any questions about the report card, please don't hesitate to email me!

 

Parent Input sheets will be coming home on Wednesday.  This is important for student placement for 5th grade.  Please complete this form for your child and send it back to school.

 

Supplies are dwindling!  A lot of the students are lacking supplies!  Crayons, markers, scissors, glue...  please check in with your child to see if they are in need of any of these!

 

Thanks and have a great week!

A copy of the letter that was sent home today....

Dear Parents,

Next week your child will began taking the ELA MCAS 

test:

April 2nd –Long Composition

April 6th –ELA Session 1

April 7th –ELA Session 2

We would like to inspire, calm, and motivate your child 

just before the test by giving them an unopened note 

from you with words of encouragement.  We are asking 

all families to write their child a note, card, or letter to be 

opened in class on the morning of the test.  After all, 

what a great way to start an MCAS day with encouraging 

words from those who love them most!

Please use this or any envelope to place your positive, 

personalized message in, seal it, then send it in to 

school. I will hold all sealed envelopes and pass them 

out on Thursday, April 2nd, just before we start the test. 

Please return a sealed envelope with your child's name 

on it on or before Wednesday, April 1st. 

Thank you!

The Fourth Grade Team
