Got Questions? Gifted Eligibility Talk

Parents, you are invited to an informational session about the eligibility process for the gifted program in Cobb County.

Please join Mrs. Covington as she explains how this process works at Eastvalley.  The meeting will be from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 1, in the Media Center.

Topics being discussed:

• Ga. State Law
• Determination of Eligibility
• Assessments Used
• Testing Window

Couple of Reminders

I am so excited about this school year and all the exciting things that we are going to be doing.  The students have been working hard and are getting used to the pace of fifth grade.

A couple of reminders for you:

• Wednesday (8/25/10) is EARLY RELEASE. Students will be dismissed at 12:15.
• The $50 deposit for Driftwood is due next Wednesday, September 1st, to hold your child's spot on the trip. You are able to pay the full $200 amount at this time, but you must at least send in the $50 deposit, otherwise.
• Boosterthon fund raiser blasted off today in the gym!!!! Wow!!! It was amazing the prizes the students can earn for their pledges. Be on the lookout for more information to come home.

I am enjoying your children and I am looking forward to an awesome year.

Welcome to the Team 2010 - 2011

I am so excited to have you on my class this year!!  I hope to meet you at Sneak a Peek today at 2:00.  Don't forget the first day back is Thursday!!  Hooray!!!

If you haven't picked up your classroom supplies, please don't purchase any hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, or paper towels.  INSTEAD, please bring in a pack of Expo markers and a pack of red pens.  They were left off of our supply list.

Parents please mark your calendars for Parent Orientation next Thursday, August 12 at 5 pm.  I am hoping for 100% participation.  It is requested that children ages 3 and up do not attend the parent orientation, but daycare will be provided.  This is a critical year and this is a great opportunity to get informed of my expectations and important events in fifth grade.  You especially don't want to miss the information about our overnight field trip to Driftwood in November.

I am looking forward to a great year!!
