We hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Welcome back!
Homework- Goodall homework folders will be coming home this Thursday for the first time. They are due back to your child’s homebase teacher the following Tuesday. If you have a Shoot, the folder is yellow and if you have a Root, the folder is green. Please set aside time to work with your child on their homework. All the work needs to be in their handwriting. If you have any questions, please contact one of the Goodall teachers.
MAP testing- All Goodalls are required to take the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) test in reading and math. This is a computer administered test and will be taking place between September 9th and September 22nd. Please talk to your child about how important it is to take their time and to focus on the test.
