Parents,

Science test - Ch. 1.  You can view and review your child's first Science test results here:  Mrs. Pokrzywa's students can see your results here. Mr. vanderstelt is allowing students to retake the test at school if they'd like to improve their grade on the test. They will have to do this during study hall Wednesday or Thursday this week.

Math Test: Place Value.  Your child took their test over Place Value last week.  Your child can review these results here. Students who would like to re-take the test to raise their grade can do so during study hall on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.

General Store "Shopping" - As part of our new PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports) system, each month 4th grade students earned a General Dollar for every 10 Class Dojo points they accumulated this month. Today a "shopping list" went home with things that can be bought with these dollars. Students can turn their dollars along with this form by Friday to receive prizes. Students may also choose to save their dollars for a larger incentive to be bought later in the year.

Letter at the new "Parent Portal." A letter about the parent portal went home today. Please read it and practice logging in both as a parent and as a student. This portal will allow students to log in to see their Math and Science book in a all in one place. More information on this will be coming soon.

Parents,

We hope that many of you are able to attend tonight's Back to School Bash (formerly the Whitehouse Carnival).

Have a great weekend!

Field trip permission slip.   On Tuesday, October 7th, the fourth level will be going to the Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio. We will be experiencing a living history museum that re-creates life in Northwest Ohio from 1803-1920. We will leave school by 9:15 a.m. and return around 2:00 p.m. We also plan to eat lunch in the village.

Chaperones.  We are still in need of chaperones for the field trip.  Please e-mail your child's teacher if you are interested in attending.  You would need to provide your own transportation to Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio. You would need to arrive by 10:00 a.m and you will depart around 1:15 p.m. You also would be responsible for the $10 admission fee for chaperones.

Review for Science Test

Parents,

Your child will take Science tests online this year using Moodle, an online course management site.

Your child will have access to practice tests and other materials for Science on this site.  Most students have a test tomorrow over "Topic 1 - The Nature of Science".  Mrs. Dressel's class will have theirs on Friday due to CogAT testing.  Here is the link for your child to take the practice test at home:
