Welcome to 5th grade students and parents!!! I'm very excited to start the school year. It was great to meet so many of you at meet the teacher night. Watch for a parent letter in your child's blue safe folder regarding our classroom procedures.
We have just adopted a new language arts program called Journeys. This is a great program that incorporates reading, writing, grammar and spelling. The spelling list will be given to your child (and they will copy it in their agenda) on Day 1 of the lesson. Each lesson consists of 5 days. We will have a spelling test on Day 5. Due to special events and testing we may not get to one lesson each day for each subject. I know this is a change from what they are used to, so I will do my best to keep them informed via the daily agenda so they know when the test will be. They will have AT LEAST 5 days to study the words. Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we transition to this new program.
Please remember to check your child's agenda daily. Homework should be circled and placed back in the Safe Folder after it is completed. Please look for a Friday Folder each Friday with your child's completed assignments. Sign and return it the following Monday.
If you would like to attend field trips or other school activities please make sure you complete and return the criminal background check form. This form MUST include a copy of your driver's license or state ID.
