September 3rd-6th

Team Urban,

Woohoo!  Happy 3 day weekend!  I hope you all have a relaxing weekend! Due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, if your child is normally scheduled to attend Second Session on Monday, please note they will attend on Friday. 

Assessment Logs for August went home today. I encourage you all to log in to Pearson to review any of the questions pertaining to the test scores on the paper. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. There are no retakes on these tests as the standards will be addressed again at another time in the trimester(s).

Picture day is this Friday, September 6th. Envelopes went home on Friday for Picture Day.  Please bring the envelope filled out with your child's name even if you are not purchasing pictures. It helps with the organization of yearbook pictures and identification of each student.
