Update and information

As we approach the end of the year, our calendars get very full and there are a lot of upcoming events, so please check the newsletter closely for information. A few important things are highlighted below.


• MAP testing will take place Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Please help us to make sure that your child gets a good night’s sleep so they have energy and focus for the test. They are going to ROCK that test. I am so proud of them.

• CONGRATULATIONS to Aubrey Brown, Lexie Gregory, Olivia Bennett, and Jerome Cooper. They worked hard and completed Study Island practice every week for the last nine weeks! Way to go!

• CONGRATULATIONS to Olivia Bennett and Riley Farthing for completing the most math practice packets. They were definitely OUTSTANDING learners!

• The field trip is April 16th. If you have not sent in your permission form and money, please do so as soon as possible.

• If you have not sent in your child’s Kindergarten and 4th grade picture, please send those in at the beginning of next week.

• Talent show entry forms are attached to this email

• The “Meet your school” flyer for Inman is attached.

• I hope that you and your children are able to relax and enjoy the weekend!!!

Updates and information

I am sending the newsletter home a little early this week because I wanted to give a couple of updates.


• Tomorrow, Friday March 2nd, will be 80s/90s day here at Mathews. Students are encouraged to dress up in clothing from those decades. I don’t know about you, but dressing like that is my favorite. It takes me back to my childhood although it is hard to believe that the students think the 80s were so long ago. It feels like yesterday to me!!!

• Please refer to the newsletter for information about next week’s BIG EVENT!!!!

• We will be stopping Working with Words tests and social studies and science content for the next couple of weeks as we kick into high gear with MAP preparation. I have some fun activities planned for review, so I would like to have extra time for math and communication arts. After MAP testing is complete, we will resume our normal schedule.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend. This weather is amazing!
