August 19th - 21st
Hello B1 families,
This first newsletter is a little longer than usual, thank you for taking the time to read it!
WELCOME BACK! I am very excited for the year ahead. This year will provide new challenges and opportunities for growth in knowledge, responsibility, and experience. Your child's success in third grade is my main goal and this can be achieved by all of us (students, parents, teachers) working together and supporting each other while keeping communication open. All these variables blended together will help make this a successful year for your child!

Weekly Newsletter: At the start of each school week, please read my newsletter (found here on my website.) In my newsletter I will have information about what students will be learning in class, upcoming projects, due dates for assignments, tests, etc. Also, it will have reminders and school announcements. Please make it a priority to read the newsletter each week.
Communicator: Your child will be coming home soon with a communicator (planner). The communicator is where your child will write down their homework assignments and important reminders. It is the students' responsibility to copy exactly what I have written - no edited versions. Each day, please read the communicator together with your child, check off assignments completed, then sign the communicator to indicate homework completion.
Stay Connected: If you have any concerns, questions, or need to set up a conference, please email me. I am happy to help! My email address is kbetterton@pleasantvalleysd.org. I check my emails daily, however if you do not get a response within 24 hours, please email me again, as sometimes it may go directly to SPAM.
Back-to-School Night: September 2nd at 6:00 pm will be our Back-to-School-Night. This evening will have very important information. I will be explaining in depth the curriculum, my procedures and expectations, school-to-home communication, grading, and homework. Please save the date for this important evening!
