No uniforms on Friday.

It's been a good Monday here in 4th Grade, and that is a great way to start our first full week of school.

Please continue working to make sure that books and workbooks are covered by Friday, August 19th.

Our email is still hit and miss. If you email us and don't receive a response, we may not have received it. You may still call the school, 477-6760, and Mrs. Cheek or Mrs. Joyner will relay any messages you have.

Thank you!!

We have had a super first two days of school. We are enjoying the children and look forward to a great year!

~ Carpool tags should be attached to the front visor or held up for us to see. These really help us to learn to identify you and your car from a distance. Thanks for your help with this.

~We worked on covering hardback books today. Unfortunately some of the book covers would not fit. If your child has any books that we were not able to cover today, we will send one or two books home each night to be covered.

Workbooks will need to be covered with clear contact paper. We are sending them home today. Please cover them this weekend if possible. Books and workbooks must be at school each day, so be sure they are sent back daily. Please have them all covered by Friday, August 19.

~All students need to have a chair bag. All of our books, workbooks, and other supplies will not fit in the desk. Please be sure your child has a bag by Monday.

~Students may have a water bottle if they would like one. Please send one with a sport top or some other top that will prevent spills. We will also have a time set aside each day for an afternoon snack. Your child may bring something that is quick and easy. Please do not send anything that will spoil if left overnight in the trash. Thanks!

~If you send lunch money for your child’s account in the lunchroom, please be sure it is in a labeled envelope or baggie. If part of the money is for a sibling in another class, the envelope should be labeled with the children’s names, the homeroom teacher’s name, and the amount that goes into each account.

Stone Fox

There has been some confusion about a required Summer Reading book for 4th grade. Some of you didn't know there was one ~ Yikes!! All 4th grade students were to read Stone Fox this summer. We will begin classwork related to the book on Monday. If your child hasn't read the book, I have school copies that he/she may borrow and read over the weekend. It isn't a long book and it should be easy to read in 3 days. Please let me know if your child needs a copy.

Welcome to the 2011-2012 School Year!!!

We are just as excited as you are when class rolls are announced! If you haven't checked out your child's list, click here. You can also find school supplies here.
