Hello Wonderful K Families,

I hope this finds you all well and staying warm on these

blustery cold days. We are off to a great start to our week.

Please read below for our weekly update & important announcements:

1) Reading folders are coming home today with our

new weekly work. I am VERY excited to announce that

we finally have IXL set up for our class. IXl is a

wonderful, online program that is provided to us by

the diocese for extra supplemental practice of math

and language arts. It is used all throughout the big

school as well from 1st-8th grade.

You will see your child’s IXL login card information taped

directly on the front of their homework folder.

Scan the QR code, or enter the link ixl.com/signin/paterson

along with their username & password and

they can work at their leisure. As they master skills,

it will differentiate them to keep them learning & moving forward. 

You will also see a new weekly homework checklist

starting this week for you to indicate what your child

chooses to work on during the week. I know it is a

shortened week, so students are only asked to practice

this week from Tuesday to Thursday and may complete

as many activities as you’d like together, there is NO

minimum requirement. Please sign the checklist each

week & return it with completed homework on Friday

mornings. 

2) Please see the link below for important information about our upcoming spring family field trip and be sure

to RSVP no later than next Wednesday, Feb. 26th. All families MUST respond to the link please.
