Materials Drop Off on Tuesday, August 26th
You and your 3rd grader are invited to pop into our classroom (Room 11) on Tuesday, August 26th from 2:30-3:00. Room 11 is one of the first classrooms you will pass as you enter the school lobby and take a right turn towards the 3rd grade hallway. You can drop off supplies, explore the classroom, and meet some of your new classmates. No worries if you can’t make it; everything can be delivered on the first day of school. New to Mitchell families are invited to come at 2:00 to get a sneak peek of the entire school before the crowd.
First Day of School - Wednesday, August 27th
On the first day of school students will gather in the playground to meet their teachers. Starting at 8:05 AM, I will be holding a Mrs. Ramras sign so your child can easily spot me. Just before the bell rings at 8:20AM and once our entire class has arrived, families will say goodbye and students will proceed into the building. If your child arrives by the bus or driveline, staff members will assist them in locating our class.
Please send your child to school with the following items on the first day of school:
✓Backpack
✓Independent Reading Book from home
✓Water bottle (labeled with name)
✓A nut-free, healthy snack
Dismissal: Third Graders are dismissed at 2:45. If your child is a "walker," a great meeting spot is a specific state on the USA map on the blacktop. I'll be in California on Wednesday :-)
Surveys
As part of getting to know you and your child, there are 3 short surveys I would like you to please complete prior to school starting. Thanks to many of you who have already completed them. These surveys will help me ensure that your child gets off to the best possible start.
