hello 4th grade, We hope this message finds you well! We wanted to remind you that FAST PM3 in-person testing is approaching, this upcoming week. Please make sure to check Testing Nirvana and familiarize yourself with the location of where your student is testing, along with the exact time and dates, they are reporting for testing. Students should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their testing time, to sign in. For the days that students are not reporting for testing, live classes will still be ongoing. Class schedules will look different this month, with only one whole group class per day. Please note that some students may have additional classes with other teachers. Students may have whole group classes with other 4th grade teachers, who are not their homeroom teacher, due to testing this month. Additionally, students will have fewer assignments appearing on their plans. Please make sure that you are using this additional time to work on retakes to help improve your overall grade. As a reminder, gradebooks will close and be finalized on May 17th. Students have until this date to work on improving grades. Students will also be receiving instructions for an extra credit ELA assignment, “Notable Person Project,” starting May 1st. Instructions and details for this project can be found on student plans. We want to encourage our students to do their best with their tests! We believe in you! 4th grade teachers Re-registration Don't forget to save your seat for next year!

Dear Learning Coaches and Students, As we approach the end of the school year, you may notice that there are less assignments appearing on your plans. Please utilize this time wisely to work on retakes in the OLS, to bring up your grades. Additionally, as we prepare for testing next month, please be aware that teachers will be out of the office more often. To see when your teacher will be out of office for testing, please check their classroom teacher's page on the 4th grade website. Also, please note that live classes with teachers will be canceled next Tuesday, April 25th due to testing. However, students should continue to work on the lessons listed on their plans, even if teachers are out of office for testing. We want to remind you to prioritize completing any overdue or missing assignments. Furthermore, students that are below 70% in ELA or Math, are at risk for retention. Please work on retakes to bring your grades up and avoid any retention risks. We want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work that you have put in this school year. It has been a challenging year, but we are proud of you and your progress. Keep pushing forward, and we know that you will continue to achieve great things. As we near the end of the school year, remember that your effort and dedication will pay off.
