This Weeks Focus
Please make sure you are reading with your student at least 10-15 minutes daily if possible!
If you are interested in your child participating in a lunch bunch with Mrs. K., please click here for details.
No school - 7th or 10th.
A few reminders:
-Please make sure your student is eating at home if they do not get a breakfast from the school. We don't want your student to be hungry before lunch time. Please get them here early if they are eating breakfast at school!
-Library books should be returned each week on your child's Library Day!
-Students need to bring headphones for their chromebooks.
-If students are changing the way they go home one day, please email me or call the school. We want to make sure we get the students in the right spot. If a student tells me they are going home a different way than usual, I will still send them home the same way as always unless I hear from a parent/guardian.
-Students may bring water bottles to drink in class. Please make sure they bring water and not juice. Students can have juice/other drinks at lunch but we prefer water in class. Spills make for a sticky mess and attract ants.
-Please make sure you put your child's name on his/her jackets, hoodies, and water bottles
-Please remind students not to bring toys to school
-We love celebrating birthdays in class but please make sure student is only bring cupcakes/treat. No goody bags please!
