Conferences
Our Conference Day this year is scheduled for Friday, September 18. I am looking forward to
meeting with each of you to discuss your childs adjustment to first grade. Today I am sending
home a list of times from which you may choose. Please indicate your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
choices; and I will schedule your conference time for you. Please keep in mind that these will
be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis; so please return your form as soon as possible.

Accelerated Reader

Your child does have access to AR


books in our classroom. These books
may be read during any Read to
Self time that your child has during
class, and your child may also take
one home to read at night. However,
please keep in mind that your child
will need to accept the responsibility
of selecting and reading books and
finding the time to take the tests. We
will also be going to the computer
lab each Tuesday so that students
may take an AR test.

Thanks!

I would like to thank Natalie


Bohanon, B.J.s mom, for being our
Mystery Reader today. I would
like to thank her for so willingly
giving of her time to share her love of
reading with us. It was a great way
to end our week!

Labor Day

Please remember that we will be out


of school on Monday in observance
of Labor Day. I hope that you and
your children have a wonderful long
weekend!

School Night at the varsity
football game on the Cherry
Road Campus will be Friday,
