Make Everyday Count!

This holiday season, the best gift you can give your child is a good education. And the best place to get an education is in school. It’s tempting to extend your vacation by a few days, but remember, those days count as absences. Just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time. So make sure your child is in school every day, right up until vacation starts. Our teachers will be teaching, and our students will be learning.

Week of Inspirational Math

Every Thursday leading up to winter break, excluding the week of Thanksgiving, students will receive an inspirational math task in their Thursday folder. It’s an opportunity for students to partner with family members to collaboratively solve a math problem.

 

Tasks are to be turned in by Wednesday of the following week. Students who complete the task, regardless of whether the work is wrong or right, will be acknowledged for their efforts on the Dogwood Morning News Show every Friday.

 

Happy Problem Solving!
