Important Information for Miss Caroscio’s Class

In order to make this another fantastic year, I must ask for your help in a few areas. First, I hope you will attend Curriculum Night, one of the most important meetings of the year. At this meeting, I will give the “ins and outs” for third grade success. You will receive information about this date and time as school begins. The following are other areas of importance for this year!

 

*     Any money sent to school needs to be in a sealed envelope or baggie with your child’s name, my name, and the amount of money enclosed.

*     If your child goes home differently than the regular schedule, I need written permission from you and office approval for a bus situation.

*     Our class lunch time is from 12:46 to 1:14. Please feel free to join your child for lunch! Check the August menu for price changes.

*     Please help your child remember their books on Tuesdays for Media!

*     Math starts at 8:10/8:15 by discussing the warm-up math activity that begins when students enter the classroom. It is essential your child arrives by 7:55 am each day!

*     Attendance in third grade is VERY IMPORTANT due to the amount of information and classroom instruction given each day. Poor attendance can result in lower grades. Also, please read the Hillcrest Handbook carefully regarding the tardy policy.

*     Since attendance is crucial for your child’s success in my classroom, please help them catch up their assignments if they are absent by picking it up; it’s best to wait until after 2:40pm. Also, please send a note the following day with the reason your child was not in school.

*     During DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) students read books or magazines of their choice while emphasizing the importance of reading. Encourage your child to bring in books or magazines they enjoy from home; otherwise, they are welcome to choose from my library.

*     At the end of the day, the dismissal bell rings for bus riders at 2:30pm and for car riders, van riders, and walkers at 2:40pm. Car riders and walkers cannot be dismissed at 2:30pm unless special permission is granted from the administration.

*     Due to our late lunch, we have a class snack. Please help by donating a bag of pretzels, cereal, or other items to help give students a boost midmorning!

*     School administration states that no birthday parties should be given for students at school. If you would like to bring in a treat for the class, it can be handed out during lunch. Also, please do not send invitations to be passed out in class unless everyone is invited.

                                       

          Every few months, I will send home a letter to keep you updated with what is going on in the classroom (as well as make postings on the web site). Also, I hope to talk with each of you on the phone within the first couple weeks of school. If you have any questions or concerns for me, please contact me at the school, 570-6120. 

            As many of you know, third grade is quite different from the first three years of school for your child. Your support is essential to help your child be successful! Please keep the attached magnet for your use throughout the year. For your information and to avoid scheduling conflicts, Monday afternoons are reserved for staff meetings. I look forward to enjoying this year with all the smiling faces coming through the classroom door. J
