Brazile - Kemp 10/8

Parents-

Hope your week is going well so far. We're working hard here as the quarter winds down. It ends Friday, October 10. Report cards will go home during conferences later in the month. To sign up for a conference, visit our class website (http://BrazileEducation.com). On the menu bar at top, find "Class Links." The conference sign up link is in that section. Or, since I have it handy - here's the direct link. 

Administration has asked us to remove the links after Friday so we can finalize the schedule. After that, we'll assign the remaining times and send home notice. So....please sign up for what works best for you. 

Testing occurs next week. This is the blurb I'm supposed to send to you regarding testing and middle school:

In the past, middle school has used a combination of CRCT and IOWA test scores for Advanced Content (AC) classes in middle school, with more of an emphasis on the IOWA score.  However, with the new Georgia milestone (replacement for the CRCT) coming into play, they are not really sure how the Milestone test is going to play into their decision making process.  The IOWA test may be the major determining factor in class placement.  Report card grades and teacher recommendations are not a considering factor in class placement. 

 

Fifth grade students will take the IOWA test next Monday through Thursday (Oct. 13 – 16).  Please make sure your child has eaten a good breakfast, had a good night's sleep, and is on time to school each day.

Please let me know if you have any questions or have trouble signing up for conferences.

Thanks,

Shane Brazile
