Remember to set your clocks back an hour as standard time returns at 2 a.m.
Sunday. The easiest way to remember is to set the clock back when you go to
bed Saturday night.
CONFERENCE WEEK IS COMING UP! CONFERENCES WILL BE HELD NOVEMBER 17 THROUGH
NOVEMBER 21. YOUR CHILD WILL BE DISMISSED FROM SCHOOL AT 11:30 EACH DAY THAT
WEEK. LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED ONLY IF YOU HAVE ASKED FOR ONE IN ADVANCE. LOOK
FOR THE APPROPRIATE PAPERS IN THE BOBCAT FOLDER COMING SOON. I WILL BE
SENDING A SECOND REMINDER ABOUT YOUR CONFERENCE TIME IN THE BOBCAT FOLDER
THIS WEEK. PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THIS IMPORTANT EVENT. REPORT CARDS
WILL BE HANDED OUT DURING YOUR CHILD'S CONFERENCE. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING
YOU THEN.
Thank you to the families that attended our Walk-a-thon! It was a pleasure
to see you. Thank you to Alex C.'s mom and Peter's mom and dad for coming
into the classroom to help out. You were great!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE SENT DONATIONS.
Thank you, Mrs. Cassidy, for coming to the classroom on Wednesday mornings
to help out with Bobcat Folders and many other jobs. Your efforts are
appreciated.
ATTENDANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT!
SCHOOL BEGINS AT 8:00 SHARP! 2ND GRADE STUDENTS WILL BE DISMISSED AT 2:15
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND AT 12:30 EACH FRIDAY. ON TEACHER LEARNING DAYS
(TLD) STUDENTS WILL BE DISMISSED AT 12:30 AS WELL. (PLEASE SEE CALENDAR
PAGES FOR TLDS) PLEASE BE SURE YOUR CHILD ARRIVES NO EARLIER THAN 7:45 EACH
DAY. (THERE ISN'T ANYONE TO MONITOR YOUR CHILD BEFORE THAT AND WE DON'T
CONSIDER IT SAFE UNTIL THERE IS SOMEONE ON DUTY.) ARRIVING AT 7:45 WILL GIVE
STUDENTS THAT NEED TO EAT BREAKFAST AT SCHOOL TIME TO EAT, GO TO THE
RESTROOM, DRINK SOME WATER, AND CHAT WITH FRIENDS BEFORE SCHOOL BEGINS. EACH
CHILD NEEDS TO BE IN LINE READY TO LISTEN AND LEARN NO LATER THAN 8:00.
Each Wednesday students will bring their Bobcat Folders home. It is very
important that the papers in the Bobcat folder are read by parents or
guardians. The Bobcat Folder, must be signed on the back and returned by
Thursday, along with other papers that may require signatures. If your
child looses the Bobcat Folder, another one must be obtained in the office
for $0.50. Thank you for attention in this matter.
THE CALENDAR PAGES ARE SET WITH THE HOLIDAYS FOR 2008 THROUGH JUNE 17,
2009. PLEASE SCHEDULE YOUR CHILD'S APPOINTMENTS, VACATIONS, AND OTHER
REASONS TO BE AWAY AROUND THE CALENDAR SO YOUR CHILD WON'T MISS ANY SCHOOL.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SECOND TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH, WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF
NOVEMBER AND JUNE, ARE SET UP FOR TEACHER LEARNING DAYS. THE NEXT TEACHER
LEARNING DAY IS TUESDAY, 12/9/08. YOUR CHILD WILL BE DISMISSED ON THAT DAY
AT 12:30. THANK YOU.
If your phone number or address has changed, please notify the office and
me. We need up-to-date information in order to communicate with you at all
times especially during an emergency. You can send a brief note with your
child, or call the school, to keep us informed. Thank you.
I AM PROUD TO REPORT THAT FRIDAY, 10/31/08, HALLOWEEN, YOUR CHILDREN HAD THE
BEST BEHAVIOR OF THE YEAR! I AM SO PROUD OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM THAT
THEY EARNED 500 MARBLES TOWARD ANOTHER MARBLE PARTY! PLEASE TALK TO YOUR
CHILD ABOUT HIS/HER BEHAVIOR IN CLASS. PLEASE REMIND HIM/HER THAT HE/SHE IS
ATTENDNG SCHOOL TO LEARN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HIS/HER EDUCATION AND TO THE
OTHER STUDENTS' EDUCATION TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT.
STUDENTS NEED TO USE THE RESTROOM AND VISIT WITH THEIR FRIENDS BEFORE
SCHOOL, AT RECESS, AT LUNCH, AND AFTER SCHOOL.
Please encourage your child to read, read, read 15 or more minutes daily!
They can read with you or independently if they are able. Dinner preparation
time is a wonderful time to hear your child read out loud. Bedtime or
naptime is a wonderful time to share a book with your child. Each child
should have their own Sunnyvale Public Library card. Parents, this is an
important card and should be kept by you.
PLEASE, HELP YOUR CHILD MEMORIZE THEIR MATH FACTS. WE ARE BEGINNING THE YEAR
WITH ADDITION FACTS, WILL CONTINUE WITH SUBTRACTION FACTS, AND END
THE YEAR WITH MULTIPICATION FACTS. A CHILD BEGINS WITH A DISADVANTAGE IF
THEY DON'T KNOW ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION FACTS QUICKLY BY HEART. DRILLING
WITH FACT CARDS OR GOING ON bishopmathscore.com ARE THE BEST WAYS TO
PRACTICE. TIME SPENT NOW WILL MAKE YOUR CHILD'S LIFE EASIER LATER.
We need your support with Boxtops for Education. Please begin to collect
them now and send them in as you cut them out. When you go shopping please
remember to look for products with Boxtops. Please take your child to
neighbors' houses that have don't have children attending Bishop to ask them
to collect Boxtops for us. Don't forget to have your child call relatives
and friends for them too. It is an easy fund raiser as we get $0.10 for
every box top. If you have been collecting, please send them in, so we can
get credit for them. Thank you, again, for your support!
