 Reading homework went home on Monday, but is not due until Friday. Homework is NOT required, but if correct your child will receive bonus points on their reading tests.

There will be a reading test on Friday. It will consist of a cold read passage, comprehension questions about this week's story, and vocabulary sentences.

Last week's tests will go home on Tuesday.

If your child makes a D (60-69) or an F (59 and below), please sign the test and return it by Friday.    

I will set up a homeroom email distribution list as soon as I receive my homeroom information from the office.

Let me know if you need me in any way!
