Cograts and I wish you the best!

Hello My Wonderful CAVA Families,

 

I want to congratulate you on being done with school!  I hope that you all have a wonderful summer.

 

School will resume on Monday, August 12, 2013. 

 

(Please start checking email by August 5 so that we can get all ISMAs signed prior to the first day of school and begin to schedule our first in person meeting.  Make a note on your calendar!). 

 

Although students will not begin their new course curriculum until August 12, you can see course descriptions and scope and sequence documents at the link below.  Students can also choose their Quarter 1 novel from their novel list to read over the summer if they wish! 

You can find information and novel lists here: http://www.k12.com/courses/k-8-courses/downloadable-k-8-course-information/

 

 

Best wishes,

STUDY ISLAND

Hello Families!

It appears that Study Island has made TODAY as the last day to work on Study Island.  This should NOT be the case as student’s last day to work on things (to count towards grades) is tomorrow.  The Study Island company is located back east and therefore their June 11^th is our June 10^th.  That being said, please do the following if your student is trying to access Study Island.

 

·         Log into Study Island

·         Click on CA programs (to the left)

·         Click on grade level

 

This should take you to ALL blue ribbons and you can scroll to look for the one you need. Please use the blue ribbon tracker to identify the concept needed.

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Things to do today

Good afternoon Families! 

 

For today, please continue to have your students working in their online schools.  I am currently working on report cards but will be wrapping it up tomorrow to ensure students have tomorrow to finalize things for attendance, progress, etc.  I will be printing report cards off tomorrow evening as that is the LAST day of school. 

 

For today, please ensure to do the following:

 

·         UPDATE ATTENDANCE

·         UPDATE PE LOGS TO THE END OF THE YEAR (remember, if both Spring and Fall PE logs are not complete, report cards will show a NOT MET status).

·         UPDATE PROGRESS

FW: Summer Book Lists

 

 

 

Hi Families,

 

Are you looking for some great summer reads?  Please see the attached book lists.

 

Enjoy!

 

 

 

Report Cards and other info

Hello Families!

 

I just wanted to inform you of what is going to occur come June 11^th.  Once your student is done on June 11^th with his/her school work, I will be wrapping up report cards and sending them out on June 13^th.  In addition to the report cards being sent, you will also be receiving your child’s Scantron results for both math and reading from this past fall assessment.  That being said, I wanted to attach the Scantron results sheet so that you can identify where your child is expected to be vs. their results. 

 

These results and report cards will also be sent to the Cava office as well. Remember that report card grades are based off of the Middle School Grading Scale.  Scantron, Study Island, Additional Assignments, semester assessments, and progress all play into account. 

 

Thanks so much!

Congratulations Graduates & Awardees

I just wanted to send out a mass THANK YOU to all families who worked so hard this year!  I also wanted to congratulate those who graduated last Friday as well as those who received awards.  I wished I could have seen ALL students to snap a picture but took what I could get ;) (Susie, you snuck out before a picture J ).  Thank you and I wish you all the best of luck.  This week is your LAST week and I just wanted to encourage you ALL to continue working diligently on your online schools to ensure you continue to make progress all the way up to June 11^th (your last day).  Additionally, please ensure you are updated attendance DAILY for the FINAL report.

 

 

 

 

Thank you again!

ATTENDANCE - UPDATE TODAY PLEASE

Good morning families!

 

I just wanted to send out a quick reminder for you to go in today and update attendance. 

 

Our last monthly attendance report for 2012-13 will be run tomorrow, Tuesday, June 11^th, at close of business. Additionally, this is our Annual Attendance Report, which is very important. The report will include attendance for Tuesday, May 14^th, through Tuesday, June 11^th. After the attendance report is run, those days’ attendance will be final. While you will have access to go into the OLS and update their attendance, the amount of attendance we report will not change.

 

Please be sure to continue to log attendance. 

 

Thanks so much!
