Amira Placement Assessment
Students will be taking the Amira assessment this week. It is important that they receive no help from family during this assessment because it will be used for placement on the Amira Learning tool. Your child needs a quiet environment in which to work. If there are technical glitches during the test, your child will need to take the assessment again.
Monday, students will need to login to Amira, as they normally do, and complete the assessment by the end of the day.
Opinion Writing
Since there is no school Wednesday, students will be assigned the next step in opinion writing Tuesday. There will be no journaling assigned for Tuesday and instead the children will be expected to work on their opinion writing pieces.
Angel Tree
This year's Angel Tree is a little different, but we can still help Ellis families this holiday season. Donations of $25 gift cards to Walmart and Target will be collected this month and distributed in December by our school counselors. Please see the details and sign up located here.
Read-A-Thon!
The 9th Annual PTA Read-A-Thon will run November 1-30th. This year, we are raising money for school-wide digital subscriptions to platforms such as BrainPOP, BrainPOP Jr., Transparent Classroom, etc. Not only will the funds benefit our school, but students will also enjoy time reading and this is something that can be done as a family. We hope the time your family spends participating in this Read-A-Thon encourages a love of reading and time spent together supporting a good cause.
Register each of your students at this website. You will be provided with a personal link that you can share with family and friends to ask for their pledge of support. You can view more information and keep track of your student's reading at this 2020 Read-A-Thon Flyer. Thank you for your support!
If you have any questions, contact Ms. Lisa (lisa.odonnell@sccpss.com).
