Morning and Afternoon Prayers
Parents are welcome to join us for morning and afternoon prayers.
Morning Prayers begin at 7:55 AM in church
and
afternoon or evening prayers begin at 2:55 PM in the afternoon.
Instead of standing in the doorway of the Church getting cold parents should join us in Church.
If you want to be a regular participant we will get you a prayer book to join us.
Come up front and sit behind Mr. Woods
A reminder that parents should speak to Mr. Guzman regarding tuition billing etc. Mr. Guzman will then contact Smart Tuition and the Manhattan Regional Office for the parent.
No longer does Mr. Woods have the capacity to eliminate late fees etc. The Manhattan Regional office will decide all those decisions after speaking to the parent.
Also a reminder that candy bar money should be paid to Smart Tuition.
Any issues regarding late fees, scholarships etc. will be resolved only through the Manhattan Regional Office.
Finally, a reminder that report cards will not be distributed to students where there is an outstanding balance. Report cards will be distributed November 20th. Please check the status of your account beforehand.
A MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Student Goal Setting Worksheet will be sent home this Thursday with the scores your child attained on the tests administered two weeks ago. Some children may also receive an AIS (Academic Intervention Services) sheet attached to the report. Both need to be sign by the parent.
The areas in green will indicate areas of strength for your child.
The areas in yellow are or maybe an academic area of concern.
The report also lists your child's Lexile Range which is a measure of where your child reads presently.
Lexile Levels is what Achieve 3000 is all about that children should be working with at home along with IXL to strengthen academic scores.
Below is listed a chart indicating where a typical reader should be by Lexile Level:
Note _ the L after the number indicates Lexile Level
BR - Beginning Reader - Usually Kindergarten
Grade 1 - Lexile level 1-280L
Grade 2 - 230L to 580L
Grade 3 - 360L to 720L
Grade 4 - 480L to 830L
Grade 5 - 620L-950L
Grade 6- 690L-1020L
Grade 7 - 780L-1090L
Grade 8 - 820L to 1140L
So how does a parent help their child raise their Lexile Level? - by making sure time is spent at home (at least 20 minutes) doing Achieve 3000 readings and their questions each night and on weekends.
This is the same for IXL for Math and ELA if there are areas of concern in those areas.
If you have question please speak to your child's teacher or see Mr. Woods on Sundays after 2:00 PM.
