Call x6376 if your child is going to be absent. Notify the school in advance if your child is going to be absent due to a vacation.

Birthdays

Invitations can only be handed out if the entire class is invited. On the day of your child's birthday, please send in healthy foods only. Ex. fruit bars, frozen fruit bars, popcorn, cheese sticks, etc. The treats will be passed out during snack time by the child. Passing of treats outside of the classroom is prohibited.

Book Orders

Each month, you will have an opportunity to order books from Scholastic. You are under no obligation to purchase. For every book that you order, I receive bonus points that can be redeemed for free books for our classroom. If you order, please do not send cash. Checks can be made payable to Scholastic Books Clubs.

Classroom Books

Children are encouraged to borrow books from the classroom. Books must be returned the next day in order to sign out another book.

Clothing

There will be daily outdoor recess after lunch, weather permitting. Please send your child to school with warm attire during the winter months.

Conferences

Please sign up for your conference at Curriculum Night. Conferences will be held in November. If you have any other concerns, please contact me so we can schedule a meeting outside of the conference times.

Folders

Please check your child's folder everyday. Often there are important papers enclosed; not only the children's work, but also important notices from the teacher. The children have been informed that their folders should be emptied nightly with the exception of returned notices, homework, etc.

The primary purpose of homework is to encourage your child to be responsible and to reinforce concepts taught in class. Homework is due the following morning, unless otherwise noted. The nightly reading book is considered homework.
