Tuesday, August 19: Hello to our third grade parents and my "special" Hornet Hive!!!! I am VERY excited for school to begin so I can see "my" kiddos again!!! This is going to be an exciting year with all of the changes going on and a new school evolving in the near future. The following are just a few tidbits I like to get to parents ASAP. Please DO NOT stress about the AR Point scale. You and your child will be amazed to learn how easy it is to accumulate 10 AR points within a 6-weeks period. The AR Test grade counts as only one test grade. It is NOT their 6-weeks reading grade. ALSO, Homecoming is September 19. Yes, I'm serious! Parents, get your heads together and be thinking of a theme for our float. I'll volunteer our flatbed trailor. We'll just need someone to drive. TIDBITS: ************************************************************************* *PARENTS, IF YOUR CHILD COMES HOME WITH AN ASSIGNMENT GRADE OF 70 OR BELOW, HE/SHE IS ALLOWED TO CORRECT THE ASSIGNMENT FOR A NEW GRADE WHICH WILL BE THE AVERAGE OF THE 2 GRADES. NO TESTS CAN BE CORRECTED UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY THE TEACHER. *An AR TEST grade will be given each six weeks and will be based on the following point scale: Points Grade 10 100 9 90 8 80 7 70 6 60 5 50 4 40 3 30 2 20 1 10 0 0
