May's Math Syllabus

https://www.google.com/calendar/render?tab=wc&pli=1&gsessionid=vYXhdcRdrwXl2hQhrlgwMQ

Here is the link to my calendar for the rest of the school year. I have posted the review units we will study and when each test will be. You may use this information to help your child prepare for each unit test. I will send home study guides which will greatly resemble the tests. I will print the calendar and send it home just in case you cannot access it.

Practice Tests

**Students will be taking practice EOG's on Monday and Tuesday. We will be taking these all day each day. Please try to make sure your students are on time and don't have to leave early those two days.

Volunteers needed

I am in need of a few volunteers on Monday afternoon to refill sheet protectors for the second day of testing. If you are available after 2:00 please consider helping out some.

Field Trip Permission Form

A permission form for this week's field trip to "Math Mania" came home today in the Monday folder. Please sign and return this to school as soon as possible.  Students cannot attend the trip without one of these forms on file.

Proctors Needed

We are in need of many more proctors for the End of Grade tests that will be held May 29th and 30th.  If we do not get enough proctors then we will have to expand the testing over multiple weeks causing the campus to be shut down with no student movement.  PLEASE consider helping on one or both of those days. If you are interested please email Mrs. Freitas at lfreitas@neusecharterschool.org and provide contact information.

Information sent home

The student should have brought home a packet of item today to share with you. They should have:
*Picture order forms for individual, homeroom and schoolwide pictures. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday the 17th.

*Yearbook order forms. If you haven't already ordered and would like to purchase one the deadline is next Friday the 19th.

*Report Cards. Please look them over and sign the envelope. You may keep the report cards itself at home.

Junior Achievement

Students will begin a five week program called Junior Achievement on Thursday afternoon.  Junior Achievement is an interactive program that helps students learn about commerce. The leader, Mr. Ron Seitz, is energetic and keeps the children engaged during each session. Please be sure to ask your child what they learned in JA that day.

White Group Worksheet

The white group was not given the worksheet they wrote in their agenda for this evening. They were copied but weren't distributed at the end of class.
