CLASSROOM REMINDERS
CLASSROOM REMINDERS
- Parents please be reminded that all undershirts under uniform shirt must be white. THERE WERE TOO MANY STUDENTS LAST WEEK WITH COLORED UNDERSHIRTS. (Yes I noticed).
- ALL homework books and assignments should be signed and dated by parents.
- Students should have at 3-5 SHARPENED PENCILS for school each day (this is a daily homework and should be a part of the packing routine). Sharpeners are not allowed.
- Each student should have a glue stick (we do a lot of cutting and pasting and the glue stick is easier to work with), crayons or colored pencils, scissors, and a big eraser. (The pencil erasers do NOT last long).
- There is no morning playtime children should proceed from the car directly to the classroom to begin bell-work.
- Parents please be reminded that lunch for warming should be precooked or a microwaveable spaghetti/soup in a plastic container. Noodles and Kraft dinners are discouraged by the school and cannot be accommodated.
- SWEATERS - Please be reminded that school sweaters are GREEN. Sweaters are on sale at the school's bookstore.
G.L.A.T. UPDATE
There is still a lot of work to cover, especially in Math, so your child will HAVE TO PRACTICE/REVIEW at home every night.
