  5.00) where they copy their home learning
  assignments. Students are to write their home

  It will include Reading and Math. As we get
  closer to that time you will receive more

Progress Report/Report Cards

• There are 4 grading periods. In the middle of
  each grading period, an Interim Progress Report
  will be sent home indicating how your child is
  progressing in each subject area. Your childs
  work portfolio will also go home for you to
  review with your child. Interim Progress Reports
  along with portfolios must be signed and returned
  to school the following school day. You also
  have the option of going paperless on the school
  website parent portal.
• Interim Progress Reports indicate how your child
  is doing at that specific time it is not the
  actual grade.

Parent Conferences

• During the year I encourage you to contact me via
  e-mail or send me a note in order to schedule
  conferences where we can take the time to sit
  down and discuss your childs performance in
  class.

Parent Involvement/Volunteers

• In order to go on fieldtrips, you must be cleared
  in the system and have a volunteer ID number.
• Even if you do not plan to volunteer in the
  school regularly but would like to go on a
  special field trip you must be approved or you
  will not be able to attend. This is a Miami-Dade
  County School Policy.
• This year you may register as a volunteer on
  line. You may visit the www.dadeschools.net
• and fill out your form.

Accreditation Process

• Miami Dade County Public Schools is applying for
  District-wide Accreditation using the Advanced Ed
  protocol. All stakeholders parents, staff,
  students and community members will be involved
  in the process through online surveys and small
  group meetings. The goal of the process is to
  ensure that everyone and everything is focused on
  student achievement.
• Through internal and external reviews NSE SIB K8
  will demonstrate that it implements a continuous
  improvement process.
