  3. The Newsletter The newsletter goes out one time per month on the first Friday of the month. It will be mail merged to each family and also posted on the website on the 5th grade page.

  4. Achieving a Positive School Culture!

  5. Classroom Policy Around Discipline: • First Time – Student email to Parents • Second Time – Student email to parents and student meets with the Dean. • Third Time – Email to parents and write-up to the Dean

  6. Homework • Homework is recorded daily by the student in each class using their planner. • Homework can be viewed on Infinite Campus the day it is assigned, along with any notes left by the teacher. • One day late is 10% off. • Second day late is 50% off. • On the third day, no credit is given. (This does not apply to absences.) • How you can help your students complete work? • Please encourage your student to e-mail us from their AA e-mail. • Check Infinite Campus every day. (We make time for students to do this each day during the first Study Hall.) • Check their planner. • Have a month long calendar available to fill in and post when the student can see it each day.

  7. 5th Grade Policy on Early Homework Requests • The Fifth Grade always posts homework on IC. However, it typically does not give out homework early if a student knows in advance that they will be absent.

  8. Being a Self-Advocate • In order to help your child have a successful transition between Elementary and Middle School, it is important that they learn to self-advocate. There are many reasons for this: • Developing a relationship with the teacher • Taking ownership for their questions, problems, or concerns • Developing a sense of empowerment knowing that they can work through their own issues at school with the help of the teacher

  9. Team Effort Between Parents and Teachers • Fifth grade teachers strive to work with parents to help the students be successful. • Open communication is important. • Please email teachers first with any concerns or issues.

  10. Go Math American Academy uses the Go Math! curriculum program for mathematics. Go Math! is a perfect complement to our STEM emphasis because it encourages learning through exploration and investigation instead of memorization of a procedure. Go Math! asks students to defend answers, encouraging comprehension of a process rather than seeking a specific answer. By including reflective written responses, the Go Math! learning curriculum solidifies a richer understanding of mathematics. American Academy also implements flexible ability grouping based on student mastery of the content with the Go Math! program.
