Reinforce Your Learning Expectation

DeSoto ISD, the parents, and the students participating in activities, services and programs funded by Title I, Part A, agree that this compact:

Science/Social Studies

Specific to Grade Level ???

TME 3rd grade newsletter will be sent home on Monday evenings. Review to learn what your scholar will be learning in each subject.

Parents will have the opportunity to view their student(s)’ grades via the TEAMS Parent Portal district program.

Grades may be viewed for each previous week by Monday / Tuesday

Third grade science and social studies are important at this level. There are concepts they will be held accountable for once they get to 5th grade that will not be addressed between now and then. However, because they do not test for Science/SS staar in 3rd, it gives us an opportunity to support reading and math.

Please get connected via Class DOJO!!
