Mrs. Sutherland
Welcome 6th graders and welcome back 7th and 8th graders!

I hope you all had a great, restful, and exciting summer.  I am excited to be teaching just reading this year for the 6th and 7th grades.

AR Testing:
     A lot of parents have been emailing me about when AR tests are put in the gradebook so let me clarify a few things.
- Students AR test every time they finish a book.  They do this during reading, before or after school and during computer class with permission.
- Students keep a log of their AR test scores and points earned in their spiral reading notebook.
- I look up their grades and enter the highest one from either a 2 or 3 week period depending on what flock they are in:
Hawks and Jays- every 2 weeks
Ravens, Pelicans and Falcons- every 3 weeks
Once an AR test is entered into the gradebook, a new testing period begins the next day and the above process continues this way throughout the school year.
