Report Cards Have Been Sent Out via PDF

Parents, you should have received the PDF copy of your child's report card via email.
If you have not, please contact me.

Later this week (or early next week), you should receive an envelope containing a hard copy of the report card as well as any other work your child may have left behind in the classroom or was not distributed.

We will be revising the report card for next school year so it matches the Common Core expectations at each grade level. It will probably look vastly different as assessed standards have changed.

I will be posting on this Blog throughout the summer with Ruskin updates, cool websites or tidbits, funny stuff, and whatever educational captures my fancy and is worth sharing.

Enjoy your summer, and THANK YOU for a great school year!

Mr. Amutan

Thank you for the goodies!

First, thank you parents for donating the food for today. They enjoyed it from the snacks to the food to the desserts.

Second, thank you for the cards and gifts. I was touched to read the comments, and I am totally appreciative of your generosity! Thank you so much!

The remaining days are sure to fly by now!

I think this is cool: How to Draw an Eye

Thank You, Chaperones!

Not only was it a beautiful day for a field trip, but it went smoothly thanks to the chaperones: Brian's mom, Emili's mom, Isaac's cousin, Javon's mom, Jazmine's mom, Katherine's mom, Miranda's dad, and Sasha's mom.

I hope you all learned something new and had fun!
