Week of 8/22/11-Back to School

Welcome to third grade parents and students! It is going to be an amazing year! Just a few reminders...Remember to send in the required supplies with your child by the end of the first week. Students will need pencils and folders on the first day. Remember that students will begin receiving weekly responsibility reports this year. These reports will be sent home every Friday in a red "Friday Folder." They are to be signed and returned by the following Monday. If they are not signed by Monday, students get a free pass. However, if they are not signed by Tuesday, students receive a lunch detention and by Wednesday, an after school detention. The purpose of these reports it to maintain consistent communication between school and home and its important that students are held responsible for keeping track of this. Also starting this year is after-school detention for students who have 5 or more tardies each quarter.

I will be sending home a welcome letter along with the weekly schedule, the curriculum, and two forms that need to be returned to school. One form is turquoise and is a questionnaire about your child(ren). Please fill this out and return to me so I can have a better understanding of your child's strengths, interests, and areas of improvement. The other form is a purple half-sheet. This form asks for a list of people who can or cannot pick up your child from school. In the welcome letter is a list of my contact information. I know that each school year brings many questions to light. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
