Attendance is very important!
If your child is going to be absent from school, please call the
office and leave a message that states your child's name,
my name, and the date(s) of absence.
An absence is
recorded as unexcused until a note is received from the parent. When
your child returns to school, please send a note that states the
date(s) of absence(s) and the reason for the absence(s). An excused
absence will be recorded as such if the reason for absence follows
School Board policy. |
|
Always check your child's
back pack
every day! Please take out any papers that should stay home.
Every child's
birthday is special. Please
contact us if you would like to send a special snack.
You will have the opportunity to
order books from different book
clubs.
|
|
Communication is important. Feel free to
contact us whenever you have a question or concern. !
Conferences are held in the fall and the
spring; however, we can conference during other times of the year if you
or myself feel the need to have a conference.
We have computers
in the classroom. We will also go to the Computer Lab. |
|
|
|
Please send all money to school in an
envelope with the following
information printed on the front: Student's name, teacher's name, and the
purpose of the money (lunch, field trip, etc.)
Feel free to send me an
e-mail if you
have any questions or concerns. If the matter is urgent, please
write a note.
Accidents happen. Please send an
extra pair of clothes to school.
Your child will keep these clothes in her/his cubby. |
|
If your child is running a
fever, please do not send him/her
to school. Your child should be free from fever for 24 hours before returning to
school.
We will go on a few
field trips. You will receive
advance notice of any trips.
We will send home
folders every Monday (or every other Monday). The folder will contain your
child’s work and school related information. You are to keep the work
(unless otherwise indicated), sign the parent signature sheet, and return
the parent signature sheet in your child’s folder.
Please remind your child to bring the
folder back on Tuesday. If the folder goes home on a day other than Monday, your
child should return the folder the next school day. |
|
|
We will have a lot of
good times in our room. |
|
|
Your child will have
homework. The homework will be
sent home in your child's homework folder every Monday. Please return the
homework in the homework folder on Friday.
|
|
|
It is
important to keep all
records current. Please be sure
to inform the school if you move, get a new home phone number, get a new cell
phone number, change jobs, or get new emergency contacts. |
|
|
Please
join the Forestville Elementary PTA. Parent participation is
important. |
|
|
Good communication between home and
school, a positive attitude, and good attendance are the
keys to a successful school year. |
|
The
library operates on a flexible
schedule; therefore, we do not have a set library day. We will go to the library
once a week. Your child is also able to return and check out books daily.
We eat
lunch at 10:30. We sit at table
one. If you plan to eat lunch with
your child, you must first go to the office and get a visitor's
pass. After you get your visitor's pass, please go to the
cafeteria and wait for our class to come.
You are always welcome to join us for lunch; however, please
give us a few weeks to establish our routine before visiting.
Children who buy lunch from the cafeteria are responsible
for keeping their lunch money. To eliminate the necessity of
having your child carry money every day, you may pre-pay school
lunch by the week or month. Since
lunch payments
are computerized, no money on your child's lunch plan is lost if
your child is absent or chooses to bring lunch to school. |
|
|
Please send
money in a sealed envelope that's
labeled with the following information: Student's name, teacher's name, and the
purpose of the money (lunch, field trip, etc.).
|
|
Please put your child's
name on his/her belongings!
I will send home a
newsletter on a regular basis.
Please sign and date the bottom part of the newsletter. |
|
|
When you arrive on campus, please
report to the office first. There
you will sign the visitors' log and receive a name pass.
|
|
I schedule
parent-teacher conferences during the fall and spring. If you wish to schedule a parent-teacher
conference at any time other than the scheduled fall and spring, please send a note.
The report card is called the
Progress Report. You will receive
a Progress Report in January and May.
Pandi is a stuffed frog that goes
home with the children Monday through Thursday. Your child is to have fun
with Pandi and have you write about his/her adventures with Pandi. When you
write what your child says, please have your child look so she/he can see
how letters make words, words make sentences, and sentences make paragraphs.
When
your child is able to write her/his own sentences, please encourage her/him
to write in Pandi's journal. |
|
|
Let me know if you have any
questions or concerns. Please
feel free to call me at school, send an e-mail, or write a note to address any
questions or concerns you have. |
|
|
Please review our
school rules with your child. It's important that your child understands and follows our
classroom rules.
Reading
is very important. Please read to your child and have
him/her read to you as often as possible .
|
|
We will have
Show and Share at school. Your
child will have the same Show and Share day every week.
Our
school day begins at 9:15 and ends at 3:45. Students are permitted on campus at 8:45 a.m. There is no
supervision for students prior to 8:45 a.m. unless they are enrolled in the
Early Arrivals Program. |
|
If a child arrives at school after
the 9:15 start time, he/she is tardy.
If your child is late for school, you must accompany him/her to the office to
sign the tardy log. After you have signed the tardy log, please walk your child
to the classroom.
You are asked to let
us know how your child gets to and from school. If your child’s
transportation is going to change, it is important that you write a note.
If your child is normally a bus rider and she/he is going to be a walker,
car rider, van rider, or go to the after school program, please write a
note. If your child is normally a van rider and she/he is going to be a
walker, car rider, bus rider, or go to the after school program, please
write a note. If your child is normally a car rider and she/he is going
to be a walker, van rider, bus rider, or go to the after school program,
please write a note. If your child is normally a walker and she/he is

communication that your child will go home a different way, she/he will be

Any
absence without a written
explanation will be recorded as
unexcused. An absence will be recorded as unexcused if the reason for
absence does not follow School Board policy. |

We love to have
volunteers in the classroom. The
volunteer list suggest the different ways you can help. Please fill it out so we
will know how you want to help. Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is also
looking for volunteers. They too have a sign up sheet. If you wish to volunteer
but work during school hours, please write me a note or send an e-mail. We will
discuss ways you can help outside of school hours. Some possibilities are
working as a film club helper, working as a library parent, or preparing
materials for the class. When you come to help, you must sign in at the
office and get a visitor's pass.
