Unit One Religion Test on Chapters 1-5 on Wednesday, November 20, 2019. This will be a test and not a quiz and hence will be weighted higher.

Chapters 6 and 7 are smaller chapters that we will be discussing in class, but they will not be included on the test. Thanks!!

Reminders:

I will be using the Remind app this year for reminders so please join that today!! Text @ebgfbe  to 81010. If your child is late, absent, or will be picked up early, please feel free to use this app to inform me, BUT YOU MUST also contact the school office via phone call or email as well!!!

Our school day is from 7:45am-2:45pm!!! 
 
Option C  Please check your students progress online weekly on our grading site. This is your way of knowing how your child is progressing. Do not wait until report card time to see your child's grades. You may access their grades as often as you like. Our grading website is Option C. If you need your Option C login information, please contact the school office as I do not have your usernames and passwords at my disposal. 

Now that Fall Weather is upon us!! Please have your child dress appropriately for the Fall weather!! A light or heavy coat may be required as we try to go outside everyday!!! Girls should wear shorts under jumpers as we sit on the floor a lot and they love to do tumbles outside!! If your child gets cold in the classroom the BTC cardigan is required. I do run the A/C a lot as I would rather they be cool than hot. I tend to keep windows closed so allergy friends do not suffer. They may not sit in the classroom in "hoodies" and such. 

Students MUST always come in the required uniform unless specifically directed not to do so!! Uniform shoes and NOT black sneakers are required. If you have purchased a black sneaker, please save those for home and purchase the required school shoe. No fingernail polish may be worn to school. No jewelry unless it is a watch or cross or Catholic medal. No fad haircuts please! Boy haircuts must be above the collar. 

Timed Drills in Math every Tuesday!! Learning the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts will lead to a better understanding of more complex math concepts. Before any comprehension can take place, whether in reading or in math, automaticity of sight words or math facts must be achieved to improve comprehension. 

Remember that to volunteer in the classroom or to chaperone any field trips, all clearances must be obtained. Clearances will be checked upon any volunteer opportunities!!! Please call the school office if you should need further details or you have questions!!
