Summer Math Incentive

Dear Parents,

    Along with reading over the summer, we are asking all of our students to review their math skills and be ready to start the school year in the best shape possible!  Please work on the following skill, (which is a standard from their current grade level), with your child over the summer:

    " Know the single-digit addition and subtraction facts up to 18 with understanding and fluency."

All students will take an assessment during the first week of school.  If they score above 90%, they will participate in a popsicle party with Mrs. Frost and Mrs. Patterson!

Thanks you for working with your child on this important skill.

Math Night

Dear Parents,

     Just a reminder that Math Night is this Thursday, January 20th from 5:00 to 7:30 P.M. at Walmart and Zaxbys.  If you are attending, please have your child bring a pencil and, if possible, a clipboard.  There will be Math Packets for each grade level with grade appropriate questions (about various products and items) to answer as you walk around Walmart.  Also, if you have dinner at Zaxby's, you will receive a 10% discount.  I should be at Walmart from 5:00 to 5:30, but please feel free to come at anytime that is convenient for you to support our school!  Thanks so much for participating in this exciting event!

Sincerely,

Joanne Thomas

Surveys plus More!

Dear Parents,

   Happy Winter!!  I hope everyone enjoyed our unexpected snow week!  I hope your child spent lots of time reading and filling up his/her Reading Log as well as having lots of fun in the snow!  The Homework Calendar coming home tomorrow will be adjusted slightly due to the days off.  The 100th day is now changed to February 1st.  All the first graders will have a fun project to complete for the 100th day.  More information will be coming home to you on Wednesday about this project.  The newsletter that will be in your child's folder tomorrow was actually written for last Monday, but all the information is still pertinent.

     Surveys from Cobb County will be coming home to you this week.  They will give you the opportunjity to provide feedback anonymously about our school.  We would like you to participate in either the anonymous survey sent home, or a ballot box survey in the lobby, or anonymously online at http://www.cobbk12.org/SISurvey.  The principal will receive the overall anonymous survey results to help determine priorities for Tritt.  Your opinion is vital to the improvement of our school.  Please contact the front office with any questions.

Thank you,

Joanne

Thanks!

From The Front Office

From The Front Office:  We have already had numerous requests for CoGat Scores.  The front office will make copies for all 1st and 3rd graders and these will be sent home to you WHEN THE SCORES COME IN.

Cogat Scores

Dear Parents,

    Many of you asked at conferences about the testing scores.  Cobb County doesn't purchase the Cogat Scores for parents - too expensive.  Parents can, however, request to see their child's scores.  If you ask in the office, they will give you a copy of the Cogat score section of the List Report of Student Scores.  These scores should be here in a couple of weeks.  (If you have an older child who took the ITBS, there will be a score report for parents.)
