Welcome to our Class!
Welcome to our Class!
Howdy Bobcats! I am so blessed to be part of the Lykins Elementary team, teaching reading/language arts/social studies to 4th graders for the 8th year! I have also spent time as a grade level aid, preschool music and Spanish teacher, and professional meeting planner. My teaching partner is Mrs. Siaosi (math/science).
My family moved to Celina in 2006, so this has been “home” for many years. My husband, Chad, and I are both proud native Texans and Texas A&M Aggies (Whoop! '95) - and just celebrated our 29th anniversary in July. We have three boys - Cade, 25; Brock, 22; and Holt, 19, a SENIOR at CHS (all three came through THIS school in elementary!). In my free time I love reading historical fiction, gardening, playing Mahjong and spending lots of time with my family.
Thank you for partnering with me to support this amazing class! It is going to be a fantastic fourth grade year!

4th Grade Newsletter
4th Grade Newsletter
Each week Mrs. Hawkins sends a "Lykins Links" newsletter out via email to our campus' parents. You will also find a weekly link on our facebook page and section of the CISD website. This newsletter is THE best source of information for you! Current events/calendars, policies/procedures for reporting absences, sign ups for visitors, menus, extra extension activities/groups, counselor news, and more are addressed. The grade level newsletters are linked each week at the bottom - so you can get specifics on what our students are doing in 4G. In addition, I send the same personalized 4G newsletter inside my weekly email, along with specifics for our class and rotation, each Thursday.

Communication
Communication
The best way to contact me is via email. Please allow up to 24 hours for a response. All changes in dismissal need to be communicated through the office if they occur after our conference time (9:20-10:10), or if you don't hear back from me by 2:00 pm.
We will be sending home ‘Thursday Folders’ each week. Please check these folders for notes from the office, graded work, and any other communication.
Mrs. Hawkins sends out a weekly ‘Lykins Links’ newsletter through email (and also on our facebook page). This will be current information on all things Lykins Elementary (mentioned above).
This Parent Guide is an all inclusive, one stop resource for parents. Check it out - click the "Home" button at the bottom of this page, then scroll down to find answers to questions you may have on specific topics!
This year our class will be using the ClassDojo App. This will be another way for me to communicate with parents, in addition to emails and our weekly Newsletter. Please download the ClassDojo app before August 12th.

Daily Class Information
Snacks: Students may bring a snack each day. The snack should not require a spoon or be in liquid form, and easy to eat. Examples of suggested snacks are Cheezits, goldfish, granola bars, and pretzels. No candy/sugar please. Students may eat during morning meeting/WIN or save for dismissal time. Water bottles should contain only water. *Due to allergies in our class, please do not send snacks containing nuts or eggs. Thank you!
Birthdays: You may drop off store bought treats in the office. We will celebrate at the end of the day. Please check with me on class size as it changes throughout the year.
Homework: Regular homework is not sent home. Things you can do at home to help support your child are reading each night, practicing math facts using flashcards or online apps, or CISD approved websites.
Breakfast and Lunch: Served daily at 7:20 and 12:00. You will need to add funds to student ‘School Cafe’ account (link below). Please note that students may also purchase snacks and ice cream, as you may want to discuss appropriate charging limits. Parents must sign up on the Lykins Links SignUpGenius prior to eating with their student at school (due to limited seating). If you are interested in volunteering for lunch duty, please reach out with dates available at any point during the school year!
Specials: NEW this year! We will be going to specials by Houses (not homerooms)!
Specials are on a six day rotation. Please make sure students wear tennis shoes on PE days, or stash a pair in their backpack for easy changing. I have listed the blue house specials because I am in that house (and will lead that group to specials each day). We will send you a master list to connect with your student's house! *You may also want to pack a labeled ziplock with change of clothes as a "just in case"!
Every year our Lost & Found is more "lost" and less "found"!
Please help students keep up with belongings by labeling items
such as water bottles, lunch boxes, jackets/hoodies, etc.

THINGS TO DO
Create an account on School Cafe
All Bobcats who wish to buy their lunch daily/ occasionally, or purchase snacks/ice cream should create a School Cafe account. Additionally, families who qualify for free or reduced meal programs, may indicate that need by filling out the confidential forms. Balances on School Cafe will follow your student across any campus in CISD.
Complete the Volunteer Background Check
This must be completed at the beginning of every school year, and allows you to volunteer for CISD/PTA.
