2013 ELA and Math MCAS scores are being sent home today. I'd be happy to meet with you to discuss these scores in terms of strengths and weakness but also how to interpret them! Please let me know if you would like to schedule a time before or after school to meet!
Helpful hints...
Students' scores are important but so are their growth percentiles.
The back page lists specific ELA and Math strands and the percent correct your child received.
Hope this is helpful!

How to Open Google Documents From My Website
To open a Google Doc...
1. Find the file you would like to open and look all the way to the right. You will see a green arrow pointing up.
2. Click on the green arrow. It will bring you to the Google Sign In.
3. Sign into your Google Account (this is why having a g-mail account is helpful!!!)
4. Once you have signed in, the document should appear.
5. You can print or save the document to your Google Account.
Let me know if you are interested in learning more about Google! I can set up a 20 minute class after school some day (around 4:00 or 4:30) to show you the basics!

IXL
Students received their IXL log in and password today. This is a great way for students to practice 5th grade skills! I did not assign written math homework tonight so I would like students to spend 20 minutes working on IXL tonight. This is a great way to prepare for Friday's decimal quiz!
