i-Ready, Papa Murphy's and Fall Festival

This week we will be finishing up our diagnostic testing for i-Ready. We have used the school set of Airbooks and the children have enjoyed using them. More than half of the class finished the reading test this morning and they will be taking the math test tomorrow. Near the end of the week I will be sending home your child's username and password so the i-Ready homework can start. These activities will be wonderful for each child as they will be specifically suited to your child's academic needs. 

Today the school sent home the information about the school-wide fundraiser that our local Papa Murphy's has agreed to do with our school. Here is the information that was sent out last week in a school-wide email.

"Papa Murphy’s Pizza has agreed to help raise funds for Eastlake Elementary PTA!   The class that raises the most money will get a pizza party!  For the entire week of September 3^rd - 10^th, Papa Murphy’s will make a 15% donation to the school for all orders placed during the week.   Please include student’s grade and teacher’s name on the coupon. Students need to take the flyer home to their families, keep one coupon from the flyer for their family and give the others to their friends, neighbors and other family members.  COUPONS CAN ONLY BE USED at South Jordan and Herriman location" 

This is an easy way for you to help raise money for our school. It's money from fundraisers that have helped the school be able to purchase extra computers so more students can have computers to use more than once every two weeks at the Computer Lab. Thanks for your help with this.

Fall Festival is coming soon. Please make sure that you have purchased your tickets early for September 22nd. If you buy your wristbands early you will save some money than if you  buy them the day of the event. 

September Book Report

I've had a few parents ask me some questions about the book reports and here are the answers.

-They can be turned in ANY time during the month.

-Your child can read any book from home, school or the library. It would be preferable to have the book be on your child's reading level. 

-Each book report is worth 10 points toward your child's reading grade.

If you have any more questions please email me at sheila.staley@jordandistrict.org 

One last thing...it would be great if you'd follow our blog. Thanks for all of your support and the supplies that have still been coming in and things for the school store.
