Conferences

Hi folks,

We're excited to welcome so many of you next week for conferences. We encourage you to bring your child so that she/he/they may be a part of the conversation about progress and learning. There are still some open spots if you haven't set that up yet.

Thanks!

Q1 Report Cards

Greetings, families!

By now, your child should have brought home her/his/their report card for the first quarter. Please take the time to review this information with your child. We will be collecting the signed slips, so please send those back in at your earliest convenience.

As always, please be in touch if you have any questions/concerns about your child's performance in a particular class.

iPad Reminders

Greetings Team Phoenix students and families!

We wanted to send some reminders about the expectations for iPad use in school. For students who do bring their iPads home, they are expected to bring them back to school the next day, fully charged and ready to use. All students were issued one charger from the school (through the grant). If something has happened to the charger, families will need to replace it.

Thank you for supporting your child's use of this tool in school.

Team Phoenix

Imitation!

     We have taken a break from reading the amazing Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. 
We are now studying her style, selecting our favorite poems and imitating her work by writing a poem like hers, but with a different topic!
      Ask your favorite Phoenix student for a peek at their poem!

End of Q1

Can you believe it? The end of the first quarter is upon us. All back work for this quarter must be turned in by the end of day Friday 11/3 (students should check in with each teacher for the precise time in each class.) Monday begins the second quarter. Report cards are slated to go home on Thursday 11/9.
