Another school year has begun and I am pleased to have your
child in my class! We are in Room 26 and I anticipate a memorable year.
Expectations: Students are expected to be on their best behavior. They need to come to class prepared, to be respectful to others, to raise their hand, and to obey school and classroom rules.
Appropriate behavior will be encouraged and positively reinforced with praise,privileges, parent contact, and recognition from staff, peers, and the school community.
Inappropriate behavior will have immediate consequences including but not limited to: loss of recess and privileges, parent contact, conference with teacher and/or administrator, referral, and in extreme cases, possible suspension. The Parent Handbook and the Student Conduct Code discuss these issues in detail.
Supplies
Our school is fortunate in that it furnishes most of the
items your student needs. I encourage families to spend their supply budget on
what the student needs at home to be successful with assignments.
I will provide one homework and Spelling folder. If the
folders are lost, the student is required to bring one from home. Please do not
purchase Trapper- keeper type notebooks. They simply do not fit in student
desks. Notebook binders are also too large for our desks. Students are welcomed
to keep them at home or in their backpacks.
Students should not use or bring ink or gel pens at school
or on assignments.
Please do not purchase spiral bound notebooks. They make a
huge mess in the classroom and for the same reason, please do not bring handheld
pencil sharpeners.
Water bottles—optional. Please remember that water is the
only item students may consume in class.
Tissue— students use many boxes during the year.
