Why does my child need to explain his/her mathematical problem solving?

St. Tammany Parish combines 2 successful Math programs to meet 
the state curriculum requirements (Investigations and Scott
Foresman/Addison Wesley). Part of this curriculum requires
students to "explain" their thinking process (words and/or
pictures to show how they got their answer), in addition to
stating the answer.

How do I order from the Scholastic book clubs?

We will not be doing online ordering at this time.  Book orders 
will go home monthly. If you choose to order, please make your
check payable to SCHOLASTIC (do NOT send cash :-)

to school for DAILY USE.

Why isn't Scholastic Online ordering available?

Somewhere in the U.S. there is another "Paula Conway/teacher". In the past, 
our online accounts have gotten mixed up. For this reason, only the
paper option will be available this year (CHECKS only).

When can my child check out a library book?

We have Library each Wednesday - However, your child should 
carry "something" to read (from home/public library) in his/her
back-pack everyday.
