<pre class="owner" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"></pre>

<pre class="owner" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">We would like to welcome you and your child to fourth grade at Tayac Academy! We will be learning a</pre>

<pre class="owner" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">lot and we look forward to working with you for a successful year. During the year fourth-graders focus on building their reading comprehension! Reading daily at home and at school will be expected. Students will also learn multiplication and division facts and engage in higher level problem solving activities. Fourth grade is a time of change for most youngsters with increased responsibility as they prepare for the MSA assessment. Our goal is to facilitate every students' learning process in order for each child to become happy, responsible, independent thinkers. We believe together we can guide our students to success through continued communication and partnership. Here are some highlights of your child's daily schedules and routines. Please review the items below. Thank you for your support!</pre>
