Teachers Corner Parents,

Please check your childs supplies and make sure they come to school with the necessary materials for the school day. We are low on pencils, paper, and glue. I have sent home information on how to access the CRCT practice test. Please, if all possible allow your child to practice at home in order to become prepared for the CRCT test in the spring. It will also allow you to know the weaknesses that need strengthening between now and time of testing. Study Island is a math based program that also strengthens core math skills your child will be tested on for the CRCT. The log-in information has also been sent home for that too. If you have any questions or concerns I am always available and willing to help. Please contact me by email at Lesley.metts@gscs.org or by phone at 770-229-3790.
