Welcome...I am so glad that you are in my class this year! Use this website to find out key information that you will need throughout the year.
The students are allowed to bring in a snack since our lunch is later in the morning/afternoon. This will be a working snack at the end of Science/Social Studies time. Please NO CANDY!!!!! Try to keep it somewhat healthy!
Students have been given an agenda in which homework assignments will be written in daily. Please look over your child’s agenda and sign or initial it every night. Notes from the teacher will be listed here in the agenda for you as well.
During the first weeks of school, students will be given a reading assessment that will help determine your child’s independent reading level. Once a level has been determined, students will be required to read in or near this level for their nightly reading and independent reading at school. Their independent reading book should come to school every day and go back home each night until completed. Students should only be reading one book at a time. Students will be expected to complete reading responses as part of their homework.
Please make note that all transportation changes must be in writing and signed by a parent. The children should turn these into the teacher when they arrive at school. If your child is absent due to illness, please send in a note on the day they return for the absence to be excused.
We will hold all graded work and all fliers from the PTO until Monday. Please look through your child’s work and take out all PTO fliers and return the MondayFolder signed on Tuesday. ALL student work is to be kept in the folder and returned Tuesday. Please do not keep the work at home or throw it away. I will keep all your child’s work in a portfolio.
We are very excited to be able to continue to use Chromebooks in the classroom this year.
If have any questions or concerns throughout the year please email me at laurie.carter@ucps.k12.nc.us or jot me a note. I look forward to an exciting school year!!!
