Important Announcements

Greetings to our fourth grade friends and families!

We have some important upcoming events in these next few weeks:

  • Fri, Feb. 24th - Unit 8 Math Test  -  This was a very short unit which covered mostly perimeter and the formulas for area.  An electronic copy of the review sheet can be found in the Math folder in the Parent Files section of our Website.

  • Tuesday, Feb. 28th - FCAT Florida Writes exam = 
           The best way you can practice this weekend for the test is by discussing how you would respond to possible prompts.  The more fun and casual you can make it, the better (think "family game time").  We have a list of sample narrative and expository prompts in the Writing Folder of the Parent Files of our website for you to use.
           Also, if you would like to donate a healthy juice or snack for the students to nibble on before the test, our 4th grade team has created a Doodle online sign-up for you.  Please choose the item(s) you'd like to donate, and send them to school with your child by Monday, February 27th, at the latest.  We will have space for the refrigerated items, too.  On Tuesday, February 28th, we will test in the morning.  So, please make sure you send your child to school well rested, well fed, and on time this day!  Thank you for all of your help and support.

  • Mon.-Fri., March 12th - 16th  =  4th Grade Scholastic Book Fair Fundraiser in Mead Library.  This is the main way we raise money to reduce students' admissions price for the Kennedy Space Center field trip.  Gina Long is our Lead Parent Coordinator, and if your are interested in volunteering your services, or signing up to work, you can email her at: 4longs4@bellsouth.net.  She's created an online Doodle volunteer sign-up, too.  The link is:  PKY Book Fair.  

  • Mon.-Fri., March 19th - 23rd  =  SAT-10 Testing Week.  Please make sure you send your child to school well rested, well fed and on time.  Thank you!

  • Thursday, March 29th, 12pm-1pm   =   Elementary Family Picnic 

  • Friday, March 30th  =  NO SCHOOL
