How can I help out in the classroom?
Any parent interested in volunteering at Cole School must complete a CORI form
through the Cole School main office. A sign up sheet will be available at the
Sept. open house/parent night for those parents/grandparents wishing to help
out in our classroom.
--------------------------------------
How can I support my child's learning this year?
Please set aside time EVERY DAY to read books! It is important to read a
variety of texts: from short predictable books for our beginning readers to
longer storybooks with colorful illustrations and rich vocabulary. If your
child enjoys chapter books, ask questions to strengthen comprehension skills.
Don't forget to read non-fiction and poetry! Children enjoy that
1-1 time with parents, whether snuggled in bed or in a cozy chair. More
helpful suggestions will be forthcoming in our monthly newsletters sent home
at the end of each month.
--------------------------------------
How can I reach Mrs. York?
I prefer a note sent to school (put in homework folder) or a short message on
my voice mail (978-887-2856). I will try to get back to you the same day when
I am not teaching.
--------------------------------------
Do you celebrate birthdays?
Children's birthdays are no longer celebrated with cupcakes or other food
items sent in. Children's names are announced over the PA system and birthdays
are remembered in a small way in the classroom. Parents may wish to contact me
to discuss other suitable options for making it a special day (i.e. special
project, small party favor, story/follow-up activity, etc.)
--------------------------------------
When do we meet for conferences?
Conferences are held in December and March- the dates to be determined.
Please watch for the school calendar to be sent home in September. Please
remember that we do not need to wait until conference time to chat. I can
always make time to talk on the phone or meet when necessary.
