Here is a brief overview of 26 classroom policies!
A: Attendance: Learning and fun take place everyday! Please make sure your child comes to school on time except in cases of illness or emergency.
B:Birthdays: If you wish to send a treat for your child’s birthday, please drop off the treat in the office and we will have the party at 3:00. (Also, no “homemade” goodies please; items must be store bought. )
Box Tops: Our school is collecting “Box Tops for Education.”
C:Communication: Communication between school and home is very important for your second grader. Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] or send a note in your child’s homework folder as I am checking it everyday. You may also leave me a message at school and I will get back with you ASAP.
D:Dismissal: School ends at 3:30pm on full school days and 12:05pm on early release days.
E:Emergencies: The school may need to contact you in case of an emergency. If your phone number or address changes, please contact me and the office.
F:Family: The students and I spend a lot of time together and consider one another part of our “school family.” Please encourage your child to tell you something about their day at school.
Field Trips: Occasionally we will go on a field trip. The permission slip must be signed and returned and the fee paid for your child to go.
G:Grades: Grades will be sent home after your child takes a test. I will put the scores into Powergrade ASAP. Your child will be graded on participation, projects, quizes, class assignments, and tests. Some tests and class assignments will be kept for your childs timecapsule.
H:Homework: Your child will have homework Monday-Thursday. Usually it will be a math page, a spelling page and a book to read. Homework is reinforcement of skills learned in class. Please check your child’s homework and help only if they ask for it.
I:Important Papers: Important notices will be sent home periodically. Please check your child’s homework folder for important papers everyday.
J:Job Well Done: Each week a student who demonstrates excellent behavior will be chosen as “Star Student.” Please encourage your child to exhibit good behavior.
K:Kindness: In our classroom kindness is expected from everyone.
L:Lunch:
M:Money: If you are sending money to school please put it in your child’s homework folder. This will help your child not to lose it.
N:Newsletters: I will be sending home a newsletter/homework sheet each week. It will have a note from me with any special events and the students homework for the week. Please, initial each day after your child has completed their homework.
O:Organization: Good organizational habits begin to form in third grade. To help keep your child organized through the year, they will need a homework folder for things to be brought to and from school in. This folder MUST be brought to school everyday. No excuses!
P:Practice: Just like any other thing you expect to be good at, the skills learned in school need to be practiced. Please provide time at home for your child to practice their math facts and reading. PTA: The PTA is the school’s Parent Teacher Association. It is a way to promote and support communication between home, school, and the community.
Q:Questions or concerns: Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
R:Reading: We will be doing lots of reading in 3rd grade. Please allow time for your child to read books to you. Read books to them that are more advanced than their reading level. Share with them your love for reading.
S:Scholastic Book Clubs: Your child will be bringing home book order forms this year. This is a great way to purchase book inexpensively, while helping our class earn points toward other items!
T:Talking: Talking to friends about feelings and ideas is an important part of learning. There are, however, appropriate and inappropriate times to talk. I understand that breaking rules about talking may seem less important than others, but I encourage you to support me in the enforcement of this rule, because it does affect your child's learning as well as other children.
U:Unique: I believe that each child has unique learning differences; therefore I will be providing instruction to your child that may be different then his or her peers.
V:Volunteers: If you would like to volunteer in the school, please fill out the form that your child brings home. We love our volunteers!
W:Writing: Reading and writing are closely linked. We will be writing both expository and narrative essays. We will be trying hard to learn the correct uses of punctuation and grammar too.
XYZ:I am excited to work with you and your child this Year! Make sure he/she gets plenty of zzzzz’s each night as we have exciting days planned for this year.
