someone from the office will come to the classroom to get

your child.

please send a note or call the office by 2:30. If we do not get a note or a phone call, we will send

your child home in the usual manner.

Students are expected to do some A.R. reading at home to

improve fluency and comprehension. Try to make

reading with your child a fun time that you can spend together. The students are expected to pass at

least 2 A.R. tests each week.

There will be graded daily papers and one test each week. Tests

will usually be given on Fridays. Spelling words will go home on

Mondays. Keep this list at home to practice spelling the words for

the test on Friday.

organization gives generous support to the school and the

children. If 90% of the parents join, the teacher gets an extra

$20 to spend on the students and classroom.

Book orders will come home about once a month. You do not have to order. If you choose to order with a check, please make the check out to the book club.

Please make sure that your child keeps these items at home. They can be damaged, lost, or stolen at

school. They are often times a distraction as well.

We want to work as partners with you to make this a great year for your child. If you have questions or concerns, please let us know! We check our email at least once a day. We can also visit over the phone or set up a time to talk to you in person.
