Thank you for your support in reinforcing the expectations for students as they get closer to transitioning to middle school. As a reminder, students will receive a station completion grade in Reading and Math. All students will start with a 100 grade for that assignment. If they do not complete the assigned math or reading stations by Friday afternoon, they will lose 5 points from this grade. We want to reward those who have been diligently completing assignments while also trying to motivate students to complete these practice and enrichment activities. Thank you for helping us prepare your child for the larger responsibilities they will have as a 6th grader!
