Birthdays

Each teacher and/or grade-level has developed a plan for celebrating each student’s birthday. Due to the increasing number of students with food allergies, parent concerns for the amount of sugary treats being served to their child at school, and the logistics of managing distribution of treats during the school day, the NTES School Improvement Team has decided to prohibit class-wide distribution of birthday treats. Parents are still welcome to join their child for lunch and bring along a special treat for their own child, if desired.

Additionally, special invitations to birthday celebrations outside of school are not allowed to be distributed during the school day to students, unless all students in the class are invited.


Reminders:

·

  • Students will have math and reading homework Monday-Thursday, as well as weekly word practice and studying for tests.
  • Students should be reading at least 40 minutes each night in an independent book of their choosing (a good fit = one that challenges them and helps them grow as readers).
  • Data Folders come home on Friday and contain graded work from the previous week. Please review the work, sign the signature card and return the folder with all the work from the graded side. Work on the Practice side can be taken out.
