Thanks again to all the students who made the St. Francis of Assisi Mass so special .

Parent Reports
Parent reports will be sent home with students this week.
The format of the parent report is much different from previous years with more explaining of projected scores, goals for future MAP tests etc.
One of the things that may confuse  parents is that there is projected NYS Math/ELA score for the test that will be administered in the Spring of 2020 for students in grades 3-8.
Many of the scores are LOW because the projection is the score of the test IF the child took the test in the next couple of weeks. 
Your child will be learning many things to meet the standards that will be covered on the NYS test in the coming months. That is why the MAP test is then given in January so that we as a faculty can judge what areas need to be reinforced etc.
Should you have questions please feel free to see your child's teacher or Mr. Woods on Sundays.

Article 43 Inspection 
The New York City Department of Health will be here on Tuesday October 22nd to review records of students and staff in all PreK and Kindergarten classrooms.
The classroom and lunchroom environments will also be inspected.
As a reminder to parents any immunization records not up to date may jeopardize your child's attendance until the records are brought up to date. 
Mr. Woods hope that parents have also been reading that the 
New York State Legislature has required that all schools submit immunization and vaccination records to them this year in December. 
Should your child not have the flu vaccine by the end of December there attendance at school will be stopped after Christmas recess until the flu vaccine is administered.
