Happy New Year!

Hello families and welcome to a new school year! I hope you find this blog useful. I always try to update it as we go, but I put photos and a lot of information on Class Dojo as well. Here are a few things that I did not put in my welcome letter: 1. Please send a set of extra clothing for your child to keep in his or her locker (in a plastic bag). 2. Students are to be outside in the mornings before first bell and not in the hallways or by their lockers. Please encourage your child to leave his or her backpack in the bootroom and head outside for fresh air. Thank you for your support. 3. Students are to have a pair of indoor and outdoor shoes (even in nice weather). This keeps the mess in the hallways reduced for our janitorial staff. Our shoes/boots are to be placed on the shelves with the number 8 on them. 4. The students will be eating lunch in their classrooms this year. Please have a discussion with your child about food manners in the classroom and what is waste vs. recycling. I will be doing the same. A reminder that we are a completely nut-free school. Thank you so very much! I look forward to an amazing year!
