I hope that you had a great weekend!
- We will resume our vocabulary and grammar routines after spring break to allow time for trimester reflections and wrap up this coming week.
- Report cards were sent home Friday afternoon. Please let me know if you do not receive yours.
- Please remember that there will be no school on Thursday, March 21st or Friday, March 22nd for Parent/Teacher Conferences. We look forward to meeting with you all next week for the scheduled conferences. Students are invited to attend the conference as well, so that they can be included in the conversation and share their own thoughts on the trimester. We also understand if you prefer to have an adult-only conversation, and students are not required to attend.
- If you have not yet returned your permission slip for the South field trip, please do so as soon as possible. Permission slips were sent home with students on March 1.
- On March 20, librarians from the Arlington Heights Memorial Library will be coming to Dryden to share some new books with 5th grade students. Students are encouraged to bring their library cards to school on the 20th, as they’ll have the opportunity to check out books at this time.
- When we return from spring break, we’ll be diving right into the Illinois Assessment of Readiness. This replaces PARCC testing. Students may not wear smartwatches during the testing, so if your student typically wears one, please encourage him or her to leave it at home on testing days. The schedule for 5th grade testing is as follows:
April 2, April 4, April 5- Math Assessment (9:10-11:10)
April 8, April 9- Reading Assessment (1:15-3:00)
If you’re able to schedule absences around these times, that would be great!
-Vlogs for students with numbers 1- 12 will be due on Friday, March 22nd. The directions, topic choices, and rubric for assessing them can be found here.
- There will be no reading logs or vlogs due the week we are off for spring break.
- Please check with your student to see how their school supplies are holding up. Many students’ math notebooks are used up and many students seem to be out of pencils. Let me know if you need help securing additional school supplies.
Have a great Dolphin week!
