This indicates mastery of the skill or content taught. M- Meets standard. This indicates mastery of the skill or content taught. P- Progressing towards standard. The student has mastered some of the required content, but has not yet displayed full mastery. B- Below standard. Student has not yet learned the required content or mastered the skill. Student Work Guide Cont. If work is used as practice to help master the content (not an assessment): The work will often be marked with a sticker, star, check mark, or a smiley face, etc. Some work is completed during center time or morning work and may not be marked. Celebrating a birthday is very exciting! Unfortunately birthday parties are not given and invitations may NOT be distributed at school. To celebrate your child’s birthday, you can donate: school supplies for the class, a gently used book, or game to our classroom. I will place a special sticker on that item stating who it was from. You may also send in goody bags with non-food items such as: erasers, bubbles, rulers, pencils, etc. which will be distributed at the end of class. If school is closed, you can find out through the county website, watching local news stations, and listening to the radio. If LCPS has a 1 hour delay, students will begin arriving at school at 8:30. If LCPS has a 2 hour delay, students will begin arriving at school at 9:30. If LCPS decides to close early, parents will be notified by the website. If this happens, we will assume that the students will make their way home as they normally would.
