When is the best time to pull my child for an appointment?
When is the best time to pull my child for an appointment?
We understand that students sometimes have appointments during the school day. We've had a few parents ask what the best time is based on our schedule, so we thought we would share with you all:
10:20 - 12:45 would be a perfect time frame for students to be pulled for appointments. During this time, we have specials, recess, lunch and then GatorAID (enrichment & intervention).
From 7:40 - 10:20 each morning and 12:45 until dismissal each afternoon, students will miss class time if they are pulled (which we understand is sometimes unavoidable).
Thank You!
Thank You!
Thank you for helping all of us have a successful first week back! It truly does take a village - we love being partners with you and have enjoyed getting to know your children over the last few days. We are looking forward to an amazing year together.
Snacks
Snacks
As you can imagine, fourth graders get hungry at school. Please pack one or two snacks for your child every day in their backpacks. Unfortunately, due to food allergies we are no longer allowed to provide snacks for the class. Thank you in advance for your help!
Chromebooks
Chromebooks
Please remind your child to take good care of them; carry with two hands, keep away from food, drinks etc. Each night we ask that you have a special place to charge the chromebooks and double check that they make it in your child's backpack in the morning. We will talk to the students about how it is their responsibility, but please help them for the first couple weeks.

Canvas
Canvas
Students will be working with Canvas beginning next week. Many may have previous experience if they used it in 3rd grade but we will work to help them become more familiar with the platform in the coming weeks.
We suggest you use the pairing feature in Canvas, which allows you to "observe" your child's classes to see their daily lessons and assignments, and allows you to see what they have or have not turned in. We have placed a link below that will show you how to become an "observer" in your child's Canvas account.
