Valentine’s Day β€
3rd grade will be doing a Valentine’s exchange on Friday, February 13th! We have 17 students and our class list is attached. If your child chooses to participate in the Valentine’s exchange, please have them send in a Valentine for everyone in our class. Remember that any candy/treats sent in must be store-bought. Students may bring in their own bag or box to collect their Valentine's, but we will also have bags to decorate in class!
Reading Skill Groups:
Students will participate in flexible reading groups across the grade level to receive instruction that best matches their individual reading needs. This means your child may work with different teachers during a small portion of the reading block, depending on the specific skills they are practicing or have already mastered. These groups change as students grow, ensuring they get the right support or enrichment at the right time. This will not change your child’s homeroom class, and your child will be with their teacher of record for the remainder of the ELA block. Flexible grouping simply helps us provide more targeted, effective reading instruction for every learner. Please reach out to Mrs. Imhulse if you'd like more information about reading skills groups imhulse@fultonschools.org.

Starting Monday, February 23, 2026, we will be using a system called PickUp Patrol to help us track dismissals. PickUp Patrol provides families with a convenient way to make changes to your child’s dismissal plans and helps ensure that students are accurately dismissed each day.

- Your child is getting picked up by someone other than yourself (must be an emergency contact in Infinite Campus).
- Your child has a doctor's appointment and will be leaving early.
- When the change is submitted, a notification will be sent to the front office and their teacher.
REGISTER: You will receive a registration email from PickUp Patrol with a link to set up your account. The parent portal is free to parents and can be accessed from your phone or computer.

Dear Families,
It was an exciting Read Across America week! The classroom was buzzing each day with creativity, enthusiasm, and a shared love of reading. From our fun dressβup themes to the special activities woven throughout the week, the students fully embraced the celebration and read / heard lots of wonderful books. Each morning, the school shared two special “Masked Readers” videos featuring one of our teachers disguised as an emoji-style animal. Today, we ended on an especially memorable note with a surprise visit from a Centennial High School football player as our mystery reader! The students were thrilled and inspired to see a community role model take time to share the joy of reading with them. It was the perfect way to wrap up a week dedicated to books, imagination, and the power of stories.

Dear Families,
As spring arrives and pollen fills the air, our third graders have been working incredibly hard! Today, students gave their very best effort as they completed their assessments, and we are so proud of the perseverance and focus they showed.
Beginning next week, teachers will be supporting students with continued practice and review of all third-grade ELA and Math standards to ensure they feel confident and prepared as we move toward the end of the year and their exciting transition to fourth grade.
Spring Pictures are on Tuesday, March 31st! Please make sure your child arrives to school on time and dresses to impress. This will be the class picture that goes in the yearbook. π
THE STUDENT SUCCESS SKILLS INVENTORY is used to measure student growth across THE STUDENT SKILLS taught by teachers. STUDENTS complete the inventory by indicating IF they almost always, always, sometimes, or never apply the skills being taught in the areas of SELF AWAWARENESS, SELF MANAGEMENT, SOCIAL COMPETENCE, COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING, REFLECTIVE LEARNING STRATES, + SENSE OF BELONGING.
THE SSS INVENTORY is about 15-20 items and administered to students in the FALL and SPRING. It takes about 15 minutes to complete. STUDENTS complete the SSS Inventory using the Illuminate platform.

First of all, HOW are we in May already?! Hard to believe we’re in the final stretch of the school year and nearly halfway through 2026! We are so very proud of 3rd grade students as they have worked hard this week on their ELA Milestones tests. We are now DONE with ELA and will take math next Tuesday and Wednesday. We know they’ll work just as hard on that as they did this week. We have a lot of end of the year fun planned as a grade level and as a school. Please continue to remind your child of the behavior expectations so that they don’t miss out on any of these fun activities and events.
