We have had a super first two weeks of school and wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how much we are enjoying your children! They are a thoughtful and attentive group of students.
~ Carpool tags should be attached to the front visor or held up for us to see. This will help us to move the line more quickly. When the tag is flat on the dash, it is difficult for us to see it from a distance. Thanks for your help with this.
~If you know ahead of time that your child will be leaving early, send a note with your child that morning (or the day before). Please do not have your child deliver the message verbally. Children often forget what time they are being picked up, and we want to be sure and have them ready to go when you get here.
~In your child's signed papers each week, there is a grade slip for Science and Social Studies grades. However, there may not be grades listed every week. These subjects have 2 types of grades. One type of graded assignment is kept in the binder for students to use later for studying. The grades for these assignments are written on the grade slip with signed papers so that parents know there is a grade in the binder. The other type of grade is review material, for instance, map skills, or question sheets related to a Scholastic News discussed in class. The grades for these assignments are included in the stapled papers sent home in your child's signed paper folder.
~All reading and spelling assignments/grades are Mrs. Ford's responsibility. All math grades/assignments are Mrs. Crumbley's responsibility. Your child's homeroom teacher may not be able to answer a question regarding assignments in the other teacher's area of responsibility. Please contact that teacher directly by email.
~Remember that Wednesday, August 29th, is the first turn-in day for Fall’s Fabulous Fundraiser. We have already seen students working hard and getting orders from teachers! Keep up the good work and let’s make this sale a BIG success.
~Thank you to these wonderful moms who have volunteered to be Grade Moms this year: Anya Bloodworth, Lynn Dugger, Cristy Hiller and Jan Tedders. They will be in contact with you as the need arises.
~Edline is up and running. Your user name and password are the same as last year. Check with Paula Douthit (paula.douthit@tattnall.org ) in the Registrar’s Office if you have any questions. We will post new grades on Friday before we leave.
~Parent Conference Day is scheduled for October 17. However, we are more than willing to meet with you earlier if you would like. Please contact us by email and we will set something up.
