Two Way Communication s Notes Phone Calls Conferences It is a partnership in your child’s learning

Reading homework: Read minutes each day. Math homework: Will be sent home in folders. Phonics & Sight Words: Study for assessments on Fridays. Differentiated homework : Sent home once a month.

If for some reason a child is having difficulty following our class procedures/rules, I will send you a note, , or I will call you. I believe it is so important for us all to communicate throughout the year so we are all on the "same page" and "same team". I only want what is best for you and your child. Our class marble jar is a fun way to reinforce good class behavior, Marbles will are placed in the jar when good behavior is exemplified in the halls, bathrooms, recess, as well as in the classroom. When the jar is full, we will have a special "fun day" to celebrate our success!

Healthy Snacks and Birthdays *We have individual snacks each morning. Please send a healthy, low sugar snack that can recharge his/her brain and body. Make sure the snacks do not have nuts or any nut products. The school is really trying to promote healthy eating choices. However, I know birthdays are special days to celebrate at school. So, it is up to you on how you would like to celebrate. We celebrate birthdays at 3:00. The three important things to remember about food are: 1. Must be store bought 2. must contain NO NUT products 3. the ingredient label must be provided. Please know that you are not required to provide anything for your child’s birthday.

Back-to-School Night Information from the Office Seconds in the café. If students go back for seconds it costs as much as a full tray. This is most costly to our families on PIZZA DAY (every MONDAY). We have some kiddos that want to eat 3 and four slices. We are keeping our Southeast Website current with district and site information. Be sure to check it on a regular basis. We will never have enough parking to accommodate everyone. We will make every effort to split events up by grade level in order to ease some of the parking issues! Please be respectful of our neighboring businesses, PLEASE DO NOT USE THEIR PARKING. Please do not park on a red curb, those are FIRE LANES. We are about to get our “Pick-Up” procedures in place for the afternoon. Please be patient with us! We have a lot more students being picked up in the afternoon. PLEASE CONSIDER PUTTING YOUR CHILD ON A BUS! Thank you for a wonderful start to our school year!!
