Homework

remember to return their book each day, either to

If your child is absent please call the school as we have a safe
arrival program. Children are expected to be here for the 8:20
bell so that they may be prepared for the day.
If your child is away from school please send a note regarding
their absence. If there are any changes in your child’s daily
schedule please send a note as to who will be picking them up.
Book orders are usually sent on a monthly basis. I will send a not
that highlights good literature choices or authors that we will
look at throughout the year.
Throughout the year I receive many offers for books or
magazines that you may order for your home. Please return the
forms even if you are not interested in ordering them. Most
companies offer rewards for our classrooms with YES or NO
responses.
