TOPS 3rd Grade Weekly Newsletter

Unfortunately our daily plan system is still down. I realize that you see multiple lessons, some are overdue, some are skipped, and it's all confusing because it suddenly changed. For now, plan your week based on the information from your teachers below and anything communicated during class connect sessions. As soon as the daily plan is back to normal, we will notify you.

Yes, I said it again. I just want to reinforce that you need to use the information from your teachers below NOT the schedule that is posted in the OLS.

You will be receiving email from your math and reading teachers today regarding updates to next week's CC schedule.

This year our homeroom classes will be in an ongoing competition to earn points to see who has the most school pride. Points were awarded based on completion of the readiness exams.

30 points to the homeroom with the most overall participation in each grade

20 points to any homeroom reaching 95% completion overall

10 extra points to the overall winner.

Check out the scoreboard below!
