Reminder
Due to letter grades being brand new to 3rd grade students this year, any student that received an 80% or lower on an assessment in the first and second quarter was able to make corrections in order to improve their grade. We have now started the third quarter and want to encourage your child to develop good study habits and prepare for assessments in advance. For this reason, the opportunity to make corrections to improve a letter grade is no longer available. Making corrections at home though is still a great way for your child to take another look at specific questions and reflect upon their learning.
