For Your Information

 

Communication and Notes  (Please check daily!!)

All notes and papers including lunch money should be sent from home to 
school and school to home through the “homework folder”.  Daily work 
completed in class will also be sent home in this folder.  Please remove all 
papers daily and return this folder to school each day.
  
Lunch Money

Lunch money should be sent in a sealed envelope with your child’s name, 
lunch number, teacher name, and amount written on the front.

Graded Work

Graded work will be sent home weekly in the “graded work folder”.  Please 
sign the form and return the folder on the following day.  Graded work is 
yours to keep.

Behavior Communication

Weekly behavior grades will no longer be given.  If you do not hear from me, 
please assume that your child is following directions, working hard, and 
getting along in our classroom most of the time. If your child misbehaves in 
a way that requires that you be contacted, I may send a note in the homework 
folder, call by telephone, or send an email (if available).

Snack

Please send a healthy snack with your child every day.  We will have a 
working snack time.

Transportation Changes

All transportation changes must be documented and approved by the front 
office.  All notifications must be in writing.  Please use a full sheet of 
paper and include your child’s name, teacher’s name, date, nature of the 
change, and your signature.

Absentee Procedure

Please send a note upon return when your child must be absent from school.  
All excused absences require a doctor’s note.  Your child will be given the 
opportunity to make up vital missed assignments.  If time is not available 
in class to do so, these assignments will be sent home in the homework 
folder to be completed at home within 3 days.  Please contact me if more 
time is needed.

Visitors and Volunteers

All visitors and volunteers are required to sign in at the front office and 
wear an identification badge while on campus.  All visits should be 
prearranged with the teacher.

Scholastic Book Orders

Book orders will be sent out monthly.  Please make payment by check.  The 
order form and check should be returned by the due date in a sealed envelope 
with your child’s name and “book order” posted on the front of the envelope. 
When students place orders with Scholastic, teachers earn points that can be 
used to purchase books for the classroom library.  This is an important 
resource in building our classroom AR library. 
 
Reading

Please encourage your child to read daily.  AR books read at home should be 
listed on the “At Home AR Reading Log” located in the homework folder.  
Students will be allowed to test on these books the following day during AR 
reading time.
