A few reminders:
Please be sure that you let us know the week before your child's birthday if you plan to send a special snack. Our days are packed full of teaching, learning, and Exploratory classes. We want to be able to schedule a special time for the birthday treat and some days work better than others due to our schedule. Also, please send napkins and plates for the treat if needed. We have limited supplies of these items in our rooms.

Remember that school starts at 8:10. The children should be unpacked and ready to begin work at that time. We change classes immediately following homeroom.

In Signed Paper folders, coming home today, there are several items for you to look over on the left-hand side. Be sure to sign the papers on the right and have your child return them on Monday. One of the grades included is the Reading Test for "The Gardener." If your child turned in his/her Summer Reading, bonus points have been added to this test.

If your child is absent, please make plans to get his/her work that day if possible. We also need a note explaining the absence.
