I strive to have open communication with all families throughout the school year to enhance your school experience. See all the ways we communicate below:
Each week, a Class Newsletter will be emailed to parents and also placed on our class website. These Newsletters have important information about our class and CMES.
To view the Newsletters, click on the drop down menu for the month to view all the Class Newsletters. Then, click on the link for the individual week.
Each week, Mrs. Robertson, our school principal, sends out a Lion Ledger news update via School Messenger. These newsletters are to inform the community on events and happenings at CMES.
To view the Lion Ledgers, click on the drop down menu for the month to view all the Lion Ledger Newsletters for that month. Then, click on the link for the individual week.
If you are interested in speaking to me over the phone about your child’s success in the classroom, please sign up below to schedule a phone conference. All time slots are 4:00 – 4:15, but if this time does not work around your schedule, please let me know and we can work something out. During this phone call, I will share your child’s strength, what he/she seems to enjoy in school, their work ethic and behavior in the classroom, areas that we are working to improve, and I will also ask about things your child enjoys at home, or how he/she is feeling about school.
I look forward to building and enhancing home/school communication, as we both work together to make your child successful in our classroom.
Please Note: If both parents would like to be on the phone call, I can make that happen. If it is not suggested on the sign up, I will only call the parent who’s name is signed up.
Phone Conferences will start in November (after our first in-person conference)
I hold three opportunities each year for in-person conferences. During this time, we will meet for 15 minutes and discuss your child's successes thus far, their strengths, and the area I would like to continue to work on to ensure they are ready for kindergarten next year. The first in-person conferences will be held between October 13th - 15th on an adjusted schedule, as these conferences are county-wide. The second conferences will be held during a week in January and will be after school hours (4:00 PM - 5:00 PM). Likewise, the third set of conferences will be during a week in May after school hours (4:00 PM - 5:00 PM) (as these are not county-mandated conferences, but a way I like to increase our communication/collaboration). More information, as well as a sign up, will be posted once we get closer to a conference week.
The first in-person conference will be held October 13th - 15th. The sign up will be sent in the beginning of October.
Your child's Take Home Folder should be returned to school each day. I will check them daily during nap time (in the afternoon). If you have any notes, you can send them via the Take Home Folder. If I have any items that need signatures, or completed art work, they will be sent home via the Take Home Folder. The Blue Card (see below) will also be sent home in the Take Home Folder on Fridays. I suggest checking your child's folder AT LEAST once a week.
If you ever have a question or concern, please feel free to reach out to me via email or phone call/text. Please note, I will not respond/answer while I am teaching, but will get back to you as soon as possible.
