What do I do if my child is absent?

Please call the office and ask for your child's work.  I will have it in the 
office at 3:00.  This will keep your child from falling behind.  Please 
realize that sometimes it is not possible to do some of the things at home 
that are done in class.  Please make every effort to have your child at 
school each day unless he/she is truly sick.  Children who attend school 
regularly perform better.

Can I send treats for my child's birthday?

If your child would like to bring in treats (such as cupcakes or popsicles) 
that will be great!  Please send those treats first thing in the morning.  
We will make time during the day to celebrate!

Is it okay for my child to bring a snack?

Of course!  Please send a nutritional snack.  Students should not bring 
candy.  It's fine to send a water bottle with your child.  We eat snack in 
the morning.

When should I expect to see my child's work?

In 3rd grade, we send home a Monday folder each week.  Parents are asked to 
review the graded papers with your child, sign the folder and any papers 
that are marked 70 or below, and return the folder and signed papers on 
Tuesday.  Please keep all other papers at home for your enjoyment.

How will I know my child's grades?

I will try to keep you well informed about your child's progress.  Please 
review the Monday folder each week.  I will send a progress report home in 
the middle of each nine weeks for you to review and sign.  Report cards will 
go home at the end of each nine week period. I also encourage you to 
check Power School website for up to date grades.
