Hello TJ Stars!  

What a week at TJ! Our Stars have been working hard together in all academic areas and we are working on our grades 3-5 iReady Assessments and our primary reading assessments.  Our staff is working to create collaborative student groups to meet every students academic needs.  

September's character trait of the month is Cooperation. It has been great to see our Stars rising to success and cooperating with one another in their Zoom meetings and in break out rooms.  It is important that we all R.I.S.E. in our classrooms:

Be Respectful

Show Integrity

Be Safe

Be Engaged. 

We're all in this together! Have a great weekend!
