What should I do if my child is sick?
When your child is sick, please notify the school office and let them know
whether we should send homework home with a sibling or a friend or whether you
will pick it up in the school office. We understand that your child has been
sick and may not quite be up to completing it all in one night, but I would
ask that they complete it in a couple of days so that your child does not fall
too far behind or feel overwhelmed when returning back to school.
How do Scholastic Book orders work?
Every month we will send home a Scholastic book order form. If you choose to
purchase books, please return your order by the due date listed on the back of
the form. Please make sure your check payable directly to Scholastic Book Club. No
CASH is accepted, CHECKS only please. You can also order online at your convenience.
We mail the book order at 8:00 am on the morning of the due date! Orders are usually
delivered in about 2 weeks or less.
What is the best way to contact the teacher?
Communication between home and school is essential. If you have any questions,
comments or concerns, please contact me. I can be reached by voice mail at
(314) 822-8844 Ext. 1804 or email me at cdunning@sgmschool.org
What is the homework policy?
We will assign homework approximately three times a week. It will be stamped
"homework" and should be returned the next day unless otherwise noted.
Spelling words will be sent home a month in advance and the current words will be
posted on this website in the homework icon. The spelling lists have a Week of date
so that you will know which words will be learned that week. It will also list the Spelling Test
dates. Spelling words should be reviewed on a nightly basis. There is a bonus word each week added
to the list.
Daily Notes?
All notes, homework and completed papers will be sent home in their special
blue folder on a daily basis or on Friday.
Please EMPTY this folder every day! Go through all completed papers. If you
should find an error, please feel free to go over it with your child. Praise
your child for their efforts. Keep all completed papers at home unless
otherwise noted. You may use the Blue Go Home Folder to send homework
back to school or to send any notes to me.
What is a Color Day?
A Color Day is a day in which your child can be out of their uniform to
celebrate their birthday or a special All School Color Day. Please be sure
and check the SGM website or the buzzbook for specific guidelines concerning appropriate
Color Day outfits that are allowed to be worn at SGM. Thank you for following these policies.
