End of the Week

As the week is coming to a close, there are a few important topics that need to be discussed.

1. Interims went home today.  Please review with your child and determine what your child needs to improve in and keep them accountable for their performance.  Sign and have your child return it no later than Friday.

2. Tomorrow is Thursday Throwdown - this event has the same procedures as any Friday Frenzy - over at 5:00.

3. A letter will be sent home tomorrow about letting your child have an Isle of Wight Gmail account.  There is a signature page that will need to be returned.  This Gmail account would be VERY beneficial for the classroom activities, such as 

- practice typing skills for the writing SOL

- practice formatting documents and basic keyboarding skills

- safe way to save documents, presentations, and spreadsheets

- collaborate with classmates on group projects

- access class work on ANY computer, at school or home - at ANYTIME (all you need is an internet connection)

- email your teachers and your teacher can email you

- organize school events, test dates, and due dates in the personal calendar

Welcome to the 21st century!!!

4. Friday is Snow Day!

5. Don't forget about Secret Santa next Wednesday!!!
