~Agendas:
Students are given an agenda at the beginning of each year. They are encouraged to use these handy items throughout the year, writing down homework, project due dates etc. I will be checking agendas every day. Important info and special notes will go home via the agenda, parents kindly check and sign each day.
~Indoor/gym shoes:
Students are asked to bring in a separate pair of shoes that they can wear everyday inside, as well as for gym class. Please make sure your child can tie their shoelaces independently, otherwise velcro is highly recommended. We will provide a bin to keep these shoes at school.
~Lunchtime:
During the first week of school, I will be in the classroom supervising lunchtime and going over expectations. I expect that students stay seated during lunchtime, chat quietly, and eat their lunch. Please review with your child proper lunchtime etiquette.
~School Supplies:
Being prepared each day sets a good tone for success. Please ensure that your child has a pencil case (keep it simple: pencils, eraser, glue stick, sharpener), agendas and a water bottle (water only please). We are always appreciative of donations such as glue sticks, kleenex, napkins and plastic spoons and forks. :)
~Washrooms/Water breaks:
Being in a portable has some minor inconveniences especially in the winter months but if we work together everything runs smoothly! I am pretty lenient when it comes to washroom breaks. If a child needs to go during class time they MUST go in with a partner in an efficient time. I always give the students a chance to go whenever we are in the school before returning back to class. It is reminded that they use the washroom during their recess breaks as well. Please remind your child to go to the washroom before they head to school, as this helps with uninterrupted morning routines. Water bottles are also encouraged. This way they can easily quench their thirst without having to leave the portable and travel to an indoor water fountain. Any concerns please contact me.
