Fortis Academy Second Grade (M/W) - September 25-29, 2023

Students have off from school on Monday October 9 to allow for parent/teacher conferences.  Conferences are optional.  If I have academic/behavioral concerns regarding your student, I have already reached out privately.  If you have not received communication from me, that means that I don't have any concerns.  However, you are still welcome to come in for a conference.  Here is the sign up (if you are not available during any of the slots, please contact me directly for other options):

*Chapter 4 is one of the chapters in math where we will edit down what we teach to make space to go more slowly for chapters that are a little more challenging.  On Wednesday, I'll be doing an in-class overview, teaching what I feel like are the most important concepts regarding length.  The assessment will only reflect material that is covered/assigned.
