Communication with Parents: Communication from home is very important. We are a family, we are a team!
Parents are welcome to call, e-mail, write a note, or send a message at any time if they have any questions, important information, or concerns about their child that will benefit your child’s successful education. For example, please let me know when your child has a rough morning before arriving to school so we can help with the transition to the school day. Conferences can be scheduled at the parents or teacher's request.
Please note that if a phone call is made during the school day; the classroom phone will not ring during the school day. I will contact the parent back within 24 hours.
Parents will receive a brief message about their child’s school day in their “Daily Take-Home Communication Folder”. Phone calls and e-mail are other ways I communicate with parents.
IEP: We will meet for each child’s annual review of his/her IEP before the IEP ending date. The IEP team is legally required to meet once a year for an Annual Review IEP meeting. At the meeting, the team will discuss present levels including strengths/needs, future goals, services, accommodations, and extended school year. Parents have the right to request an IEP meeting at any time during the school year. Please contact me to initiate this.
Weekly Newsletter: A weekly newsletter will be e-mailed to parents on Mondays with information about what we are doing in school each week and activities to practice at home. This newsletter also includes reminders and important upcoming dates. These newsletters are tailored to your child’s current ability level; so the “same” newsletter is not sent home to all students in our classroom.
Organization: Money needs to be sent in a bag or envelope and placed in your child’s “Daily Take-Home Communication Folder”. It should be labeled with your child’s name and what the money was sent in for. Please send exact change if possible. Please note that we do not check pockets or bookbags for money. Only “Daily Take-Home Communication Folders are checked on a daily basis.
Transportation: If your child needs to go home a different way than what they usually do, we must have communication (note, e-mail, phone call) from a parent. No early dismissals will be permitted after 1:45 p.m.
Progress Reports: Every 9 weeks, you will receive a Progress Report on your child’s specific IEP goals.
Grades:
Kindergarten: At the end of each quarter, your child will receive a Kindergarten Report Card.
1st Grade: At the end of each quarter, your child will receive a 1st Grade Report Card.
2nd Grade: At the end of each quarter, your child will receive a 2nd Grade Report Card.
