Assessments are Beginning

Welcome back to all of our students and families!  Today marks the end of the "first week back" mark for teachers at Beaumont School and we are beginning our yearly Math and ELA assessments in support of Strong Beginnings later this month.

While results from Strong Beginnings are used to inform instruction and help me plan outcomes and strategies for the year, and are not shared with students and parents, I will be communicating with you if your child has not yet mastered their basic facts in addition, subtraction, multiplication and addition.  To be successful in grade 5 and 6 math, knowledge of these should already be automatic, however students should also be able to use identified strategies to help them solve any unknown facts.  If your child requires additional practice, links to supporting websites and apps will be posted both on Edmodo and here on our blog in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you for your support!
