What is the homework this week?

Your child was given a homework folder with an assignment 
schedule which matches our daily homework board. If your child 
looses this folder, you should buy them another one (about $.50) 
and ask me for new assignment pages. It is the students' 
responsibility to copy the assignments daily from the homework 
board.

When do I send in lunch money?

Lunch money can be paid at any time. Place lunch $ in an 
envelope with child's name, 4V, and amount of money paid. When 
your child chooses hot lunch with their lunch card, the money is 
deducted from their account. If you pay $50.00, you will be 
credited for $55.00.

What if I need to change my child's after school transportation?

Send a note with your child's full name, 4V, the way they will be 
going home, and the way they usually go home. Example: My son Bob 
Parks in class 4V will be picked up by Sue Parks today 9/14/07, 
instead of taking bus #2. Sign and date the note.

Call the school at 624-6321 and leave a message with your child's 
name, grade and teacher.You may also call 624-6321 to request 
work to be picked up at the end of the day, or sooner if 
possible, or sent home with a sibling. It is important to make up 
all work missed so a student will not fall behind.
