Hello Families,

Thanks so much for attending our birthday celebration. Everyone had a great time. You can see pictures from the celebration on the district page. https://www.facebook.com/SpartanburgD7

and on our FB Page https://www.facebook.com/MHWbobcats

The Bobcat Awards program is on Friday. You will go to your child's classroom at the time listed. I understand if you do not want to come if your child will not be receiving a certificate. Please reach out to the teacher if you have not heard from them. Also, I have informed teachers to start on time, since some parents may have to go to other classrooms, so please be on time. Thank you!

Just so you know, Ms. Watson may show up at your door if the teacher is unable to schedule a conference with you. Parent teacher conferences are mandatory at MHW.

Last week, I included a poll asking what time is best for you to attend events. 200 parents read the newsletter but only 28 parents responded which is not enough information to go on to plan future events.

Please make sure you participate in polls and surveys so that your voice can be heard. I have included it below, again.

Also, as of Thursday, no parents signed up for the 3K/4K Reading Parent Event, therefore, we are opening up to parents of 3K-2nd Grade. If you want some good idease on how to help your child read at home, please scan the QR Code below and sign up. If no one has signed up by Tuesday, we will cancel this. Thanks

Have a KIND week,

Mrs. Jordan

The Mastery Predictive Assessment (MPA)/Benchmark Assessments

October 21st ELA

October 23rd- MATH

These tests are designed to assess whether students retain information from the Grade Level State Indicators taught since we began the school year. They are not intended for grading purposes. The tests are given in a testing environment and taken seriously by students. Students should be encouraged to do their best.

Classroom Visits

Please call the teacher 24 hours in advance if you would like to schedule a 30-minute classroom visit. This will ensure that other students are not distracted and can continue to learn. Visitation is limited to parents and guardians listed on the information sheet located in the front office.

Lunch Visits

We would love parents to come in and eat school lunch with their children. Bringing outside restaurant food is strongly discouraged. We require parents to pre-schedule this with the teacher at least one day in advance. Thanks again for your understanding; this helps us keep a tight guard on safety.
