When will I see all of my child's test.

Your child will bring home their Friday folder every Friday.  All 
tests/quizzes that have been graded from that week will be in the folder.  
Please sign all of the test/quizzes and make comments if needed.

Is Third Grade hard?

I believe that when your child works hard, they can achieve anything.  
Staying focused, positive, and asking questions when he/she does not 
understand will be key.  In third grade your child will learn many new things.
It is very important to continue to work hard each and everyday.

What are the PSSA tests?

The PSSA tests are state-mandated tests in which every student across 
Pennsylvania takes at one time or another.  In 3rd grade your child will take 
the state test in reading and math.

Can your child get extra help?

Absolutely!  All I need is a note or phone call and we'll set something up 
either before or after school.
