ELA

MOY Benchmark communication:

Student benchmark communication letters and reports are scheduled to be sent home Thursday, February 29. This date was changed a few times, but the 29th is the most current. A packet for each student should include the communication letter, Dibels Home Connect report and i-Ready reports for ELA and Math. If you are missing anything, let me know!


Delmarva Shorebirds Hit the Books! program:

The due date for completed bookmarks was Friday, February 23th. I will send an email Monday morning asking for your class participation total. I only need the number of students who participated from your homeroom class. If a student sends a parent note stating they participated, that is acceptable as well. If you want tickets for yourself, I can request those as well.


Thank you!! Have a great week.
