Welcome Back!
- Snacks – Please be sure your child packs a healthy snack every day. We go to recess at 11:45AM and that is when the children can eat their snack. We then have lunch at 1:30PM; it is a long day for the children if they don’t have a snack.
- DOT Folder – Please be sure your child is bringing their DOT folder every day to school. This is the way I communicate with behavior, work done in class and assessments. The first page on their DOT folder has how their day went and whether or not they showed their PAWS. I encourage you to discuss with your child items in their DOT folder.
- Book It! – Students that bring their reading books back every Friday initialed by their parents will receive a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut once a month. Please read with your child everyday day and ask questions about the book they have read.
- Absence – Please be sure to send in a note if you child is absent within 2 days of their absence otherwise it will be marked unexcused. When sending in a note due to sickness please be specific as possible as to why your child couldn’t attend school. Reasons such as “personal emergency” or “not feeling well” may not be accepted as an excused absence.
- Transportation Changes – Any transportation changes must be in writing, please do not e-mail me or call the office as it will not be accepted.
- Class Pet – We will be starting a new activity for the children this quarter. Each week a student will get to take our class pet (stuffed pet gorilla) home for the weekend. Please encourage your child to write about activities you did with the class pet. You may even take pictures and e-mail them to me. The student will then bring the class pet back on Monday and share what they wrote about.
