Points of Business

Good Morning Families!

• Students received a list of missing work yesterday morning. Copies are available if students are unable to locate items in their folder. It is up to the students, with parental guidance, to complete any missing work by Friday. As this is their responsibility to want to achieve, I have been prompting the option to complete work, but will not force it. The only case in which I will be making makeup work mandatory is in the case of a test retake. After Friday, I can no longer accept missing work to apply towards the second quarter grades. I do hope students will take this opportunity seriously and work towards their best 5th grade self.
• If your child is doing the Bango Bucks fundraiser, all materials are due TOMORROW (1/19).
• Social Studies tests will be coming home tonight. Please sign it and send it back with your student as quickly as conveniently possible.
• MAPs Math testing is next Monday. Over the weekend, please make sure plenty your child gets plenty of sleep. We are doing them first thing in the morning. A MAPs Reading test may be following the week after, depending on times. I will update you on the date and time of that as soon as it is determined.
• Book Orders are due this Friday 1/21 and will be placed that afternoon.
• As always, please make sure students have the proper winter gear for our snowy weather. Again, we've had many students out in this cold weather with nothing more than a sweatshirt on or without hats, gloves, boots, etc.! Our afternoons get long when they have to sit in wet clothes!!

Thank you and have a great, warm day!
