Message from Mr. Childers April 22, 2018
Hello Parents,
This is Tom Childers contacting you from Antioch Elementary. Only 36 days of school remain… yet we still have much to accomplish.
On April 24th, Author Libby Bagby will be at our school to talk with grades second through fifth about her work as a writer. On April 25th, our 4th grade students will participate in the annual Indian Trail Mayor's Tree Planting. Students will learn information about the important role that trees play in our ecosystem. On April 26th at 5:30 pm, our Chorus will hold their Spring Concert. The Antioch Ambassadors will sponsor Hat Day on Friday, April 27th. They encourage students to use recycled materials to construct a hat in honor of Earth Day.
All parents and volunteers are reminded to check in at the front office before visiting our campus. This is a safety measure to protect our students and staff.
Parents and Fifth Grade Students will be invited to participate in the UCPS Stakeholder survey during the week of April 23rd. The survey link will be available on the AES Website and parents will use their student's PowerSchool ID number. Please contact the teacher if you did not receive your child's PowerSchool ID number. Please take time to complete this survey so we may continue to improve our school.
On May 30th, May 31st and June 1st students in grades 3, 4 & 5 will take the North Carolina End of Grade Test. Our school is in need of proctors to assist with the assessment. Please complete this link if you are willing to volunteer. https://goo.gl/forms/um0hS9fdcSvZiiUj1
Students are certainly not defined by their EOG scores and we firmly believe in preparing students for life NOT just for the EOG. With that said… I am attached some resources to this email that provides a breakdown of each EOG and the percentage of questions from each strand in the content areas of Reading, Math and Science (5th Grade Only).
Charlotte Knights Family Night is Friday, May 11th. Check out the flyer attached to this email.
I know it is far too early to think about this…Back to School Supplies Deadline June 30th. Avoid the shopping and the last minute rush. Kits will be delivered to your child's classroom. - www.1stDaySchoolSupplies.com
Thank you for supporting our school - working together as one team on one mission, we are meeting needs, challenging minds and celebrating accomplishments.
Until next time… Have a great day!
