Parents,
I am sending Ident-a-kid information home in homework folders today (8-27-18). I didn't get the papers until Friday afternoon and didn't see them in my mailbox until dismissal was over, otherwise, I would have sent them home on Friday. There is a quick turn around for students to get this information back if you want them to participate. Only children who turn in the form and payment will be photographed.
Please let me know by email if you wish to volunteer at the Walk-a-thon by Tuesday.
Sincerely,
anne simmons

Dear Parents,
Today I sent home some assessments the students took at the end of our last track in. I wanted to assure you that while some of the grades may appear to be a bit shocking on their EL reading assessment I explained to them that this is a slightly different way of grading in third grade. We are closely looking at each individual standard in the questions and some of the standards only had one question for the students to show proficiency. This makes it difficult for us to determine if they have mastered that skill with just one assessment. Please know that we give many more opportunities throughout the quarter on those standards for the students to pass. The EL program that Wake County implemented last year is a higher rigor than what most students are used to but with encouragement and perseverance they can achieve success.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
anne simmons
