Thank you so much for coming out to meet with me at Back to School Night! I hope you found everything informative!
Picture Day, Wednesday 9/18: All children are to wear their regular school uniform. You may send in the envelope the day of pictures.
Behavior Contracts: If you have not returned the contract, please do on Monday. Please review with them the rules as we do daily. The children have completed their practice week with following the rules. This week we will be holding them accountable for their choices.
If you have not done so, please sign and return the Highlights order form even if you are not buying a subscription.
Scholastic Orders due Friday, 9/20- please see the link on the side of my webpage for ordering online. You can also send in your order with a check. No cash, please!
Grandparents Day, Friday October 4th: We will begin with Mass at 9 A.M. followed by refreshments in the All-Purpose Room and then classroom time for grandparents. Please RSVP by clicking on the link below. It is helpful to know who will be attending so we can plan the morning activities accordingly.
This is also a 1/2 dismissal. Please make sure to check your school district for busing. If your child is going home with his or her grandparents, please send in the yellow Change of Transportation that day!

Snacks:Please remember to pack your child a healthy, peanut/tree nut free snack in the morning with a small water only. No juice boxes please.
Rest Time:
Rest time is one favorite part of the day, for both the students and teacher :). If your child would like to bring in one, quiet, stuffed friend to snuggle with, they may. They will keep it in their backpacks and get them out at rest time. Please no pillows or blankets.
Changes of Clothes
Please put in a gallon size ziplock bag a complete change of seasonally appropriate clothes (socks, underwear, etc.) and put it in your child's backpack. These will remain in the backpacks unless they are needed or a change of season happens. Thank you for your help with this.
Daily Communication Folders:
A blue folder will come home with your child DAILY. Please check and empty it each day and return it to school. This is one way we will communicate with you at home.
Classroom Information:
Communication (Parent/Teacher): 1. School Website and Teacher Page - I update my webpage on a weekly basis and will have it ready, at the latest, Monday morning. Please check my teacher web page each week. This is important information pertaining to our classroom and your child. There is also important information on the school website. Please get into the habit of checking both pages. 2. Folder: Each child will have one folder that will come home daily. Updates, homework, and any other classroom or school communications will be included in this folder. Please check it and return it to school everyday.
School Uniforms: Please make sure to look over the student handbook regarding the school uniform. Also, please label all sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, school bags, etc. with your child's first and last name. Also please work with them on how to zip or button up their jackets and school sweaters. Girls: If your daughter is wearing the school jumper please have her wear a pair of small shorts underneath. Boys: If your son is wearing a belt, please practice with him how to buckle and unbuckle his belt.
Bathroom: We go to the bathroom everyday at snack time which is around 9:30, again before lunch at 11:30 and right after lunch around 12:30. Please remind your child to raise their hand if it is a true emergency, so we don't have so many interruptions.
