Welcome to Fifth Grade!
In fifth grade we do things a little differently.
We departmentalize, this means our students have two teachers throughout the day, one for ELA and another for math. We also switch every other day for science and social studies, besides Wednesdays, when our students have both social studies and science.
This schedule is a great way to acclimate our students to a schedule similar to what they can expect in middle school, and develop great organization and executive functioning skills.
Birthday Treat Policy
Birthday treats will be passed out during recess.
All treats need to be store bought with the ingredient label present.
Please do not send in treats containing nuts.
If your child has a food allergy or food related health concern, please send in treats they can have instead for such occasions.
Chromebook Policies
Students are expected to FULLY charge their chromebooks each night.
Chromebooks and district accounts are LPS property. Students are to use chromebooks only for school approved uses at school or at home.
If a student fails to use chromebooks appropriately, it may be taken by a teacher or school admin.
Students are financially responsible for Chromebooks that become damaged due to student misuse.
Absent Work
Fifth graders are expected to email teachers about missing work when absent.
A great place to start is by checking Google classroom assignments.
Some of the work we do is discussion and direct instruction based and cannot be made up.
