Announcements:
- Our first class order from scholastic is due on October 30. If you'd like to purchase some books for your scholar, visit scholastic.com/bookclubs and use the code QWCF3
Currently they are offering home delivery, as well as a free book when you spend $10 and a free book of choice when you spend $25. Each book you buy helps provide books for our class library :)
-Sign up for reading groups here!: https://signup.com/go/FDNFAjZ
- Please send your student with a healthy snack and lunch to help him or her be successful throughout the day in the classroom. We have noticed that students who have highly-processed and sugary meals have difficulty concentrating in class and regulating behavior. (Please keep this in mind as Halloween approaches).
-Please remember to send your child with a reusable water bottle for the school day.
-Please send your scholar with their composition notebook, if you did not already bring it on the first day of school.
-Reading groups begin this week, and students should be reading their leveled readers out loud with parents 15-20 minutes every night. Please send books back to school on Mondays and Thursdays.
-For students
returning to campus, please send your edukit or school supplies with your
scholar if you did not drop them off before fall break.
-Please note that If you are dropping your scholar before 7:40 am, make sure to reserve a spot for your scholar in our morning club. They also must wear their mask prior to morning temperature checks in the car line. Students without a mask won't be allowed in the classrooms and will have to wait for you to provide one for them at the front office. Beginning October 20, the school will no longer be providing masks to scholars who forget. If your child forgets, we will have them call their parents at the front office. We highly recommend placing some extra masks in your scholar’s backpack as a backup. Morning Club signup link: https://signup.com/go/vFmMVhA
If you are using the morning club, please make sure you pull into the drop off lane closest to the school and proceed through the teacher parking lot to the teachers on duty.
Thank you in advance and hope you enjoy a wonderful break!
