Test Packs & Parent Teacher Conferences (October 13)
With the first month of school "under the belt," parents will notice weekly "Test Packs" coming home on Fridays (no longer on Wednesdays). Test Packs are the second primary Home/School communication (after the assignment book), to keep parents informed and participating, and should be perused with your child, signed by the parent, and returned on Mondays.
Mid-term Progress Reports will be issued in October AFTER Parent Teacher Conferences (the morning of Monday, October 13; no school, Columbus Day). Please schedule your meeting with your child's teacher, and ask for another time, if the 13th is not possible.
Your students are doing great! The first month of school entails new adjustments, and the expectations of higher grade levels: we are enjoying the work, and so are your students! Your support of the teacher is critical. Middle and Upper School students have been adjusting to the new "block schedule" and its homework distribution, or getting caught up from summer assignments, and show many encouraging signs of perseverance.
