Weekly Update

 Hi Parents!

Spelling:

Your child received new spelling words on Monday, November 8th. The test on these words will be this coming Friday, November 19th. They should be working on these each night. They glued a chart with some activity ideas in the back of their spelling journal, should they need some ideas on what to do with these words. 

Quarter 1 Report Cards:

A friendly reminder that Quarter 1 report cards were issued Monday.  If you've not yet done so, please log into your ParentVue account to view your child's report card.

The Online School Payment Portal has finally opened. Please make sure to go on and pay for your child’s Virginia Studies Weekly Newspaper.
