PARENT PAGE
Effective Effort:
Time: A willingness to spend the hours needed to finish the job well!
Strategies: If one approach isn’t working, keep trying different ways until you find one that works.
Resourcefulness: Knowing where to go and whom to ask for help when you’re really stuck.
Focus: No TV or distractions: Concentrate only on the work!
Use of Feedback: Looking carefully at responses to your work so you know exactly what to fix.
Commitment: Being determined to finish and do the very best work.
Email:
I will most often communicate with parents through email. Please ensure you provide me with current email addresses so you will receive regular communication from me. If for some reason you do not receive periodic emails from me, please call the school and leave me a voice message with your email address so I may include you.
Absences/Early Dismissal:
Please notify the office if your child will be absent or dismissed early from school.
Classroom Behavior:
At the beginning of the year, students will help create a list of expectations that are necessary to a productive learning environment. Students who are interfering with the learning of others, or who make poor judgments about their behavior, will have a consequence determined by me. Usually this means a private conversation to discuss my concerns, but could result in an email to parents, loss of recess, conference with parents, or others. In the event that a student breaks a more significant school rule, students may have a meeting with the teacher, parents, and principal.
Homework- Third graders are expected to complete 30 minutes of homework per night, Monday-Thursday. Students are expected to complete at least 45 minutes of Dreambox each week, with a goal of 5 lessons. Home Connections will be introduced in the fall as math homework. Students will complete 2-3 a week. Remember third grade is all about establishing good habits and routines.
Birthdays & Holiday Celebrations-
-Student birthdays will be recognized with a birthday card signed by the class, happy birthday pencil, and small gift.
-Room Parents will coordinate holiday celebrations with crafts and games. No food is permitted.
