Fifth Grade News!


Dear Fifth Grade Parents,

It’s so hard to believe that we’re looking at the last few days of fifth grade.  What a fun year it has been!  Thank you for the support you’ve given us as we’ve navigated the unexpected fourth quarter in unchartered waters.  We know that you didn’t sign up for distance learning, but you’ve been a tremendous support for your fifth grader and for us and we cannot thank you enough!

We have several important dates coming up and want you to have all of the information in one spot.  Please read carefully and let me know if you have any questions.

Monday, May 11th, 1:00-3:00 – 5th Grade Drop-Off/Pick-Up Day (Elementary Carpool)
  • Drive through and pick up your student’s journals, writing portfolio, art portfolio, extra supplies, and any other personal items that were left in the classroom.
  • Drop off any items that belong to FPD or to a teacher (classroom library books, FPD library books, safety patrol belts, pencil boxes from cubbies, dictionary, thesaurus, etc.).
  • See your fifth grade teachers in person one last time before you graduate! 😊

Wednesday, May 13th – Deadline for Graduation Video Submissions (we need help from everyone!)
  • 1-2 individual photos of your child from 5th grade FPD events
  • 1-2 small group photos of your child from 5th grade FPD events
  • 1 video of your child sharing his/her favorite 5th grade or favorite FPD memory (this can be the video you submitted for Open House or a different video)
  • If you have individual photos or small group photos of other 5th grade students, please send those to their parents so they can consider them for submission.  We want all of our students represented well in this video and it will take everyone’s help!
  • We will send the Dropbox link to you this weekend.

Friday, May 15th, 5:00 pm – Deadline for all assignments
  • Please start monitoring NetClassroom so you can make sure your child has completed all of his/her work.  If your child has not submitted an assignment, you’ll see ‘0’ for that particular grade.  We will accept current and past due work until May 15th.
  • Assignments not submitted by this deadline will result in a ‘0’ to be factored into the report card grade.
  • Fifth grade students will receive all assignments for the last week of school by Monday, May 11th.  Daily assignments emails from teachers will still be sent but we want all students to have an overview of the week so they can plan accordingly.
  • Students and parents have been receiving emails about missing assignments.  A final written reminder will be given Monday to those who drive through for Drop-Off/PickUp.

Wednesday, May 20th – 5th Grade Graduation Celebration
  • Teachers will be delivering elementary diplomas, certificates, and a few fun surprises to our fifth graders on their graduation day!
  • Watch online for a special tribute to our “Elementary Seniors” as we celebrate this important milestone with all of you!

Parents: Check NetClassroom!

The last day for students to submit work for the school year is May 15th.  Parents are being copied on emails to students about missing assignments.  If you are copied on a "missing assignment" email, please make sure your child is completing and turning in all of the work!  In some cases, the work is complete but needs to be put in the appropriate place in the OneNote notebook so we can find it.
