Classroom News and Reminders
Welcome Back- I hope that everyone had an amazing week off! I am so glad that the weather cooperated and allowed my family to spend a little time outdoors. Several people traveled over the break or gathered with friends, so it is important to monitor students closely for Covid symptoms. Please be sure that you complete the attestation form before putting your child on the bus in the morning or dropping him/her off in car line. If your child has ANY symptom that seems out of the ordinary, please contact our school nurse before sending him/her to school. I look forward to seeing all of my sweet kiddos back at school on Monday.
Snack- Please make sure that your child brings a small snack (just one) and water bottle to school each day.
Chromebooks- Charge those Chromebooks! I have very few outlets in the classroom that are accessible and there are a lot of students that need to charge their Chromebooks each day. Please make sure they are charged before bringing them to school.
Dojo , Planners and Smore- Please check Class Dojo and your child's planner each day. I will update the Smore every Sunday and will post the updated link on Dojo.
Staying Safe- Please be sure that your child wears a clean mask to school each day.
Reading Homework- Your child should be reading for a total of 30 minutes each night. Please log the book that your child reads in his/her assignment book.
Your child is welcome to log in to Literacy Footprints each day to find a "good fit" book to read for 30 minutes. Every student has been shown how to access this program and find books that are on his/her level.

Have questions for the school nurse?
COVID - Please be overly cautious when considering when to send your child to school. It is VERY important that we all follow the guidelines when it comes to quarantining. If you have been around someone that is sick or has tested positive, please reach out to the school nurse to get information about what you need to do. Read over the attestation form each day to make sure that your child is healthy and able to come to school. Masks should be worn to school each day and washed in between uses.
Our school nurse Kimberly Sluder is here to help you navigate this challenging year. You can find her at school at 336-838-4261 or on ClassDojo. You can also reach her by email -- Nurse Sluder at sluderk@wilkes.k12.nc.us
