Please email or send a paper note - voice mail is not the most efficient way for me to get back to you ~ Thank you!
*I generally check my email between 8:30am & 9:00 am and again at some point between 11:30am -3:30pm. I will try to send you a quick one line answer to let you know I've received your email. Many emails require a more detailed response than one line, but there is often not time for a detailed response while the students are at school. If I don't respond within a school day, please feel free to send a follow up.
**If you are altering your child’s dismissal routine please send a paper note that can be sent to the office. In the event I am absent and you sent me an email it will not be read by the substitute. You could also cc Mrs. Johnson & Mrs. Dmytruk if you do happen to email: kjohnson@saugerties.k12.ny.us , admytruk@saugerties.k12.ny.us
Class Schedule:
Class Schedule:
Arrival = 8:30- 8:45 - The tardy bell rings at 8:45. Each day the class is greeted with a Morning Message that gives an overview, directions and springboards our day. During this time the students are encouraged to greet each other, turn in practice sheets/homework, prepare for the day and begin their Morning Work. Morning Work varies. Some typical options include: Weekend Reflection and other journal prompts, fact practice, typing or cursive practice, word work, math games, seasonal fun brain games and The Friday Five.
8:45 - 9:00 - Students continue to work on their Morning Work or do a 'While I Wait' activity while attendance and lunch count are completed, 'Teacher Mail' is check, paperwork for the office is organized and student needs are met . The student of the day prepares to read the Message or help the teacher read it.

Students will write in their planners days that they are invited to stay after. I give a day or two notice if there will be an afterschool sesson. I often send a note home as well since it is often new for students to stay after in 3rd grade.
