We would like to invite all parents of students in grades 2nd through 5th to a crucial parent meeting scheduled for Wednesday, March 4th at 4pm. This meeting will take place in the school's cafeteria. During this gathering, we will discuss significant topics including the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program (ACAP), the Literacy Act, chronic absenteeism, and student behavior. Although these subjects might appear basic, our discussion will specifically address issues pertinent to your children in these grades.
One of the critical points of discussion will be the ACAP, particularly the English Language Arts (ELA) portion. It is imperative for you to understand that students who do not achieve the cut score of 444 may be required to repeat the 3rd grade. This meeting will provide you with detailed information and answer any questions you might have regarding this matter.
The meeting will not be lengthy, but your attendance is of utmost importance. We want to ensure that all parents are fully informed and engaged in their child's educational journey. Your participation will help us work together to support your child's success.
We sincerely hope you can make every effort to attend this important meeting. Thank you for your continuous support and collaboration.
