Please "feed" our Paper Gator that pays our school to recycle used paper products-including junk mail, magazines, old school papers, newspapers, old phone books. The bin is located behind Pinewood across from the soccer field. Just dump it in the bin and the school earns money to help pay for incentives. Thank you for recycling and supporting your school!

Reading at home is necessary and even required by ELA. At least 20 minutes per day. 
here are a few MYTHS about reading at home. 
Picture books are only for little kids.
Reading is only done at school.
Children need to sit still when listening to a read aloud OR reading a book 
Encouraging reading at home is a great way to help your child be successful at school!

M-Step Testing is fast approaching...

4/9/2018

0 Comments

 
Please see the information below and the link for ways to help your child be prepared for the testing. Sixth grade will be testing starting April 30 through May 4. 

Make sure that your child is well rested and eats a high protein, low sugar breakfast-Children who are hungry or have too much sugar are less able to pay attention to the test

Remember to make attendance during testing window a priority as the make ups require loss of instructional time in the classroom

Help encourage hydration-water during the test is prohibited but before, after and during breaks is necessary. 

Encourage your child to do their best as it reflects their academic performance.
