April 15th is Parent’s Night!

Mrs. Roorda

Hello parents!

This is Jessie Roorda and I am now posting on the blog.  I will do my best to connect with you frequently on here with any updates, academics and events!  If you need to contact me for any reason, please email me at jroorda@highroadacademy.com or phone the school office.  I am always very happy to connect with you if you have any concerns or questions!

Spelling Words

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!

Here are the Spelling Words for the week of April 15, 2024:

Grade 1: well, late, that, them, white, paper, cut, its, it’s (it is), sick

Grade 2: side, outside, inside, oil, hard, from, noon, most, hang, cast

Challenge words: shall, should, would, test, care

***Please take a look at your child’s spelling test which was sent home today.  I have noticed that many students struggled with some of the words even though we practiced everyday this week.  It would be very helpful for your child if they could practice more at home with you!

Jersey Day

Wednesday, April 17th is Jersey Day!

Pay to Wear Casual

Just a reminder that tomorrow is a Pay to Wear Casual Day in support of our Library. If you would like to wear casual clothes tomorrow, April 10th, please bring a $5 donation to the classroom. Participation is voluntary and students are welcome to wear their uniforms.

Health Update

Good Morning!

It was my biggest hope that I would be back in the classroom full-time after Spring Break, but as your kids may have told you, I am not back. I have been having complications with my re-hab with unexplained pain and weakness in my arms and legs. This has been such as challenge as no one seems to have a solid answer as to what is causing the symptoms. I am trusting God to resolve the issue and would love your prayers for healing. One thing I know well is that God is good all of the time. I am so thankful for Mrs. Roorda to step in and love the students for me in my absense.
