Family Information
Brrrr..... it's cold on the playground!
Even when it doesn't seem that cold on the way to the car or bus stop, it is much colder on the playground. The open fields around us mean we have lots of wind! Please send a jacket or coat with your child everyday. We go outside any day it isn't raining or below 20 degrees! Remember, students are not allowed to wear shorts after September.
Coats get left behind all the time- make sure your coat doesn't end up in the lost & (never) found by writing your child's first and last name inside. Thanks!

Birthday Celebrations
Families are welcome to send treats for the class. Please send individually wrapped treats such as chips, Little Debbie type snacks, or cookies. If you would like to send drinks, please send juice boxes or pouches.
Please do not send cupcakes! The frosting stains the carpet and is very messy in the classroom. Thanks!
Homework
Our homework is to read for 15 minutes (or more) every week day. On the back of your child's blue folder there is a calendar for them to color to show that they read for the day. Research shows that reading with and to your child everyday has the greatest impact on their success. Reading with your child now has positive effects that last through high school!
Gym Shoes
If your child doesn't wear gym shoes everyday, please send a pair for them the leave in their locker for gym and recess. Our playground is covered in mulch and it gets inside sandals and can cut your child's feet.
