Email me at manns1@k12tn.net with the answer.  TIDBITSEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUITY--STUDY HALLI want to inform you about an educational opportunity that your child will have starting next week. Four teachers are going to rotate a “study hall” for make up work, reteaching/retesting skills and incomplete work. It will be held during recess time Monday-Thursdays. Your child will be invited to attend if he or she has any late work to do, make up work to finish, or skills
in reading or math to be retaught and retested. We are excited to offer this additional educational experience to your child if he or she needs it. It will help strengthen skills in a small group setting with lots of individual attention. CORE EXTENSION LEARNING OPPORTUNITY Students will have an opportunity to be retaught skills missed on their Benchmark #1 test after the Thanksgiving holiday. If your child did not demonstrate mastery of a skill tested on the Benchmark Test in October, they will join a small group and teacher during recess to be retaught the skill. We hope this will keep our students from falling behind. SWINE FLU MIST We have not received information on when the swine flu mist will be given.
We will let you know when we know. STUDY ISLAND
