It's Midterm Time!

The 1st Quarter Midterm Report is being sent home Friday, September 16. You will not find the normal Friday folder form to sign and return. The midterm report has all the academic information you need.

You will see your child's first set of grades for the first half of the 1st Quarter. Mid-term Reports are filled out so that you can see where your child is currently performing with specific objectives for each content area, and an overall grade is provided as well. There are still another 4 weeks left of 1st Quarter and plenty of time for improvement in all areas!

A specific objective that is not marked indicates that we have not covered it yet. We have not started our unit in Social Studies yet so a grade is not given. Areas of concern are checked in the BB (Below Basic) column. If an objective is checked within the Basic column, it indicates that your child is working towards understanding and mastering the skill, but is inconsistent with the skill. Proficient and/or Advanced is the ultimate goal for all students.

Please continue to help your child with homework and chat with him/her about school. I have loved every minute of getting to know your child! We have an awesome class this year! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Please sign and return the Midterm Report by Monday.

Thank you for supporting your child!
