Week of January 25th-29th

This last week of January will be a busy week!

On Tuesday, join us for an informational night about the FSA.  This will take place at 6:00 in the cafeteria.  We will discuss the testing schedule, writing FSA, and show you how to use the FSA software so you can practice at home.  We hope to see you there!

Wednesday: Early Release on Wednesday, Ladies Love Literacy, and a visitor from Tree Hill to conduct an Energy Detective Program here at BSE.  This is a free event and will take place in our STEM lab!  Our classes will attend the program from 9-9:45 on Wednesday.

Thursday we will also have a Jump Rope For Heart Assembly that Coach Carney is putting together.

Best of luck to Sophie, who competes at the district level as our spelling bee representative from Bartram Springs!  We are so proud of her!

Report cards will be sent home on Monday, February 1
st!  Attached to the report card is your child's current i-Ready & Achieve 3000 data.  Please be sure to sign and return both of these forms!

New Expectations for the second half of the year!
In order to prepare our students for the rigorous requirements of middle school, we will be instituting some new requirements for the second semester of the year. 
While late work will still be accepted there will be a penalty of 10 pts. for any assignment turned in past the due date. (Exception made if student is absent. Work must then be turned in promptly upon arrival back to school.)
All students must have their independent reading book every day without exception or it will result in an  unearned conduct for materials. 


Academics:
Vocabulary for the week will be homonyms:
whether/weather     which/witch     when/win     whole/hole     know/no     write/right

We will have an RRJ this week as well as a writing prompt.  All due on Friday along with the vocabulary test.
