Other Important Information
Class Schedule - Our class schedule is posted on my website. Some of you have asked about our lunch times. We will eat lunch at 11:41 a.m. You are welcome to have lunch with your child. After signing in at the front office, parents can wait in the cafeteria for our class.
Homework: Your child will not receive homework the first few weeks of school. We will talk more about homework during Parent-Orientation Night (TBA). However, if you want to get your child into the routine of doing homework each night, the daily homework will be to read 15 minutes. Your child can record their reading on the Reading Log in their blue Home Folder. Please be sure to check and empty this folder each night. We will be sending a lot of school-related information home through this folder.
Home Transportation: If the way your child goes home changes, you must call the front office at 512-464-6794 and let them know as soon as possible or send me an email letting me know. Otherwise, your child will be sent home the way that was specified on the Home Transportation form. We cannot legally send your child home a different way without your written or verbal consent--this is for your child's safety.
Contacting Me: The best way to contact me is by email. When I am teaching, I cannot always get to the phone. I check my email throughout the day and will respond back as soon as I can. My email is listed below.
Polkadot Class Website: Each week I will update my website with information about what we are learning in class, school-related information you should know, assessments that are coming up, and how you can support your child at home. It will be available on my website under the Class Happenings tab. I encourage you to visit my site weekly for updates and to stay abreast of your child's learning.
I look forward to working with you this year to support your child's learning. It is going to be a great year!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
