Conference Time is Almost Here! Please check PT Wizard to confirm your appointment!


A note about conferences....

  It is hard to believe that in a few short days, November will be behind us! That means that before we know it, it will be report card and conference time. When reviewing the report card, please keep in mind that grading is based on fourth grade standards. It may look very different from your child's third grade report card. It is not uncommon for students moving up in the grades to find that skills they once seemed to have well in hand, require renewed attention and maintenance. This is important information that lets us know as parents and teachers that students are still growing and emerging as learners, and as the requirements for mastery intensify, so does the need for goal setting. This is the first of three report cards and the hope is that each subsequent report card will reflect improvement.
  When your child's report card comes home, please take some time to review and discuss it positively and with encouragement. It is important for your child to know that he or she is supported and progressing. We are all working together toward improvement!
I look forward to seeing you at our scheduled conference time.

World Math Day 



Get ready Heathcote! World Math Day is coming to our school on Wednesday, October 14th. 

Educational math games and activities can add up to a lot of fun! Throughout the day, all students K-5 will have the opportunity to enjoy and participate in math games, activities, and challenges designed to get them thinking and motivated about math. It's a school wide, one-day celebration meant to encourage students to see math as fun, exciting, and relevant. Even Ms. Stile will get in on the fun with a giant estimation jar that she will share with each class, challenging students to use their math thinking and number sense skills to make an accurate guess. Whether its classroom activities, recess games with buddies, or engaging homework puzzlers, every student will end they day saying that World Math Day at Heathcote was a day to remember!
