3rd Grade Policies and Procedures

COMMUNICATION 

• • Email communication with teachers is preferred and the easiest way to keep in contact. 

  • Sign up for PowerSchool in order to remain aware of your child’s grades and missing assignments. 

  • Please send in a written note or email for transportation changes. Any transportation changes must be made by 1:45. If we do not have a note of a change, children will be sent home their normal way. 

  • ​Students are unable to be checked out after 1:45​. 

  • After an absence, please send in an excuse note within 3 days to avoid the absence being entered as an unexcused absence. 

HOUSEKEEPING

• • Birthdays: Please refrain from sending in invitations unless the entire class is invited. Birthday treats can be given during your child’s designated lunch time. If you would like to bring in a treat, please make sure to check with the teacher for allergies. Treats must be store bought and include a list of ingredients. 

  • Snacks/Water: Students will be given time to enjoy their one healthy snack each morning. Snacks should also not be shared with other students. Water bottles are allowed in the classroom.

  • Cell phones are to be stored in backpacks and turned off during instruction.

CLASSWORK POLICY 

• • Classwork is expected to be completed and turned in on time. 

  • Please make sure you are monitoring grades using PowerSchool frequently and adhering to the school-wide grading policy.
