One of the most important tools for your child's success in school is communication between parent and teacher. This is my 34th year of teaching and am looking forward to teaching your child.
Your child will bring home his/her red folder every night. Please check for papers from the office, notes from me, possibly homework and graded papers. Please send me a note if you need me to know something right away. I often do not check my email or DOJO until lunch. I know together, as a team, we can make this a successful year for your child.

We will have a different special each day of the week.
Monday: HELPER

Wednesday: Music
Thursday: Technology

Your child will receive a birthday band, certificate and cardinal cash from me in honor of his or her birthday. The office will also call the names of students when it is their birthday and they will receive a certificate.
We will celebrate your child's birthday, but please do not send in birthday treats to share with the class. You may donate a book to our library in your child's name. Thank you!
