Dear Parents, Every weeknight I will send home your child�s �homework folder and planner.� They will both contain pertinent information such as messages from the office or from myself. They will also contain special dates, assignments, tests, spelling lists and vocabulary list. Look at these papers and keep them at home. Please sign your child�s homework planner and send it, along with the completed homework, notes for the office or for me, and the homework folder back to school daily. This method keeps you informed of your child�s grades and progress. If you have any questions or comments, please call the school at 845-635- 4310 or write me a note. Other information: *If you would like to read the class a story or bring in snacks feel free to do so but please let me know 2 or 3 days in advance so I can plan for it. If you need anything I would be glad to help you or your child in any way! Sincerely, Ms. D. AlongeBack to Top
