Reminders:
-
Behavior Cards should be checked daily, but signed only at the end of the week. I will remove them and put a new one in each Monday.
-
Agendas should be checked daily. I will keep in touch with you when the need arrises via your child's agenda!
-
The students look so nice in their uniforms! Be sure to check the policy from time to time to be sure your child is following it. A couple of things to keep in mind are that it can get chilly in the building and a sweater or sweatshirt that follows the code is nice to have in cubbies (jackets are not to be worn in the classroom) and also make sure the colors you buy for your child are in the dress code.
-

Encourage your child to READ everyday and to study multiplication facts until they are mastered!
