What is Accelerated Reader?

Your child will be participating in the Accelerated Reader 
program this year.  My students are expected to read and test 
over 2 books each week.  When your child scores a 80 or 100 on an 
AR test, they will be able to get an item out of my treasure 
chest. Also, at the end of the each nine weeks grading period the 
entire 3rd grade will have an AR party. Students should have at 
least 5 AR points or an 80% average in AR.

Does your class celebrate student birthdays?

Birthdays are very special for our students.  If you would like 
to provide treats for your child’s birthday, please contact me at 
least 2 days prior so that we can find a time that works for both 
of us.  Also, to avoid hurt feelings, please only send party 
invitations to school if all students in the class are invited.  
Otherwise, please mail invitations.

I need my child to come home a different way, what do I need to do?

note or call the school.

year.  More information regarding a field trip(s) will be made 
available prior to the outing.
