Dear Cato Families:
I hope you are doing well during this time. It is important for me to reach out to you to say thank you for your support and partnering with our Cato Team to keep your child engaged in learning and growing.
All classroom teachers, Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. Ballard, and Mrs. Wickless are interacting with your child and sending resources for them to use daily. Please continue to monitor your students' academics by ensuring that they are completing daily assignments found in the AMI packets and Google classrooms. Students have access to their Lexia and Dreambox accounts. Your child knows the expectations and must complete at least 20 minutes of Lexia and Dreambox lessons daily. Completing assignments and reading will sustain their academic progress. That is what we want at this time.
It is vitally important that your child sticks to a schedule to complete assignments, have physical activity, read at least 20 minute per day, enjoy free time with family and do what they enjoy doing. Please help monitor your child’s usage while completing online assignments.
Again, thank you for your support and allowing our Cato Team to educate your child.
Take care and be safe!
Mrs. Lee
