    We feel that communication between home and school is very important and we welcome you to contact us at school at any time with questions, comments or concerns.  We will keep in close contact with you as well, by note, email, the REMIND app, or telephone call whenever necessary.  Utilizing your child's assignment notebook as a means of communication will be beneficial. By using the REMIND app, you will also get reminders about the class and other useful information.  By working together, we will all have a great year!

                                                           

    Team Teaching:  Your child (along with the rest of the class) will work with Mrs. Boeing for ELA and Social Studies this year.  We will switch classes for approximately an hour each day for ELA and every other day for 30 minutes for social studies. We will all work together to promote the success of each student!

     

    Grading:  Your childs grade in each subject area will be judged by participation, effort, completion of homework, class work, projects, growth in subject knowledge and test/quiz scores.

     

    Take Home Folder:  Your child will be bringing home his or her Take Home Folder nightly.  Each pocket is clearly labeled Return to School or Leave at Home.  Please encourage your child to share his or her Take Home Folder with you nightly. 

     

    Assignment Notebook:  Students will record all homework assignments.  The students are required to bring it HOME TO BE SIGNED EVERYDAY.  In the morning, we will check the notebook for the signature and the completed homework.

     

    Signed Assignments/Tests:  Periodically your child will write Get Test Signed in his or her assignment notebook.  Please sign and return any tests your child brings home and return them with him or her so that we know that you have seen them.  Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

             

    Staying After School:  There may be times when your child may need to stay after school to work on incomplete homework or class work, or for extra help.  If staying after is necessary, he or she will be riding the 3:15pm bus home. 

     

    Cursive Writing:  We will continue to work on cursive writing this year.  We will be using the Zaner-Bloser Alphabet.  With a lot of hard work, we will be able to meet our goal of writing in cursive in 2023!

     

    Birthdays: Your child should feel free to bring in a birthday treat if he or she would care to do so. We do need the treat to be peanut free. Children who have summer birthdays will be assigned a day in June to celebrate J.

     

     

    Book Orders:  Throughout the year we will send home two or three book order forms with your child.  This is meant to encourage your child's interest in reading and give flexibility in finding books of appropriate reading level and interest for your child.  Please order online and books will be sent home when they arrive.
