Zipper Pocket:

Money and Excuses

This is where you should put all money to be brought to school (field trips, lunch, book orders) so it doesn't get "lost" in the bottom of the backpack. This is also a good place to put doctor's notes for excused absences. Students should take this money out once at school to turn in to the teacher.

Spiral Notebook:

Family-Teacher Communication Log / Study Guide

The spiral notebook will serve as our family/teacher communication log. This will be for notes between you and me. Please stress to your children that this is ONLY for the teacher and parents to write in. Check this section daily and I will try to do the same. Please ask your child to let me know when there is a note from you in the log. I will not have time to check each communication log for notes each day. There will be a special basket in the classroom for your child to place his/her STAR Binder in if it has a note for the teacher. I ask that you leave any notes that we may write in the notebook so that we can look back and remember any communications we may have had. I will initial all notes I read from you and ask that you do the same. That way, we know our notes have been read, even when no response is necessary.

The spiral notebook will also serve as your child's study guide for science and social studies this year. Any review sheets that I pass out for tests or notes taken by the children will be in this notebook. The test date will be on the page so you will know to review the information with your child for upcoming tests.
