On the day your child returns back to school please send a 
note explaining the reason for the absence.  If your child was taken to the 
doctor, a doctor's note is sufficient.

Birthdays

If your child wishes, he/she may bring healthy and nutritional 
treats for the class.  Parents should send a note or call in advance so that 
we can give you an exact number of sudents and set aside a special day and 
time to enjoy the treats.

Volunteers for the Classroom

Volunteers are most welcome in the classroom!  If you are 
interested in copying, laminating, cutting, etc. for our class please let me 
know--and thank you in advance.

Money

On occasion it will be necessary for your child to bring money 
to school for things such as book orders or school sponsored sales.  Always 
send money to school in a sealed envelope or zip-lock baggie with the 
following information on it:

1.  Your child's name
2.  The amount of money
3.  Purpose for the money (book money, school sponsored sale)   
4.  Mrs. Jimenez

School Attendance

Please make it a priority that your child attend school every 
day except in cases of illness or emergency.  It is important for your child 
to have consistent attendance so that they may be successful in their 
education.  It is very difficult to make up work at home especially if they 
have missed a learning activity that was group oriented and involved 
interaction with their fellow classmates.
