Hello Parents

I have now made e mail contact with 15 parents, thank you for letting me know the appropriate way to keep in touch with you. I am attaching a notice from our Elementary Librarian, Mrs Barbara Boyer, regarding the opportunity for you to volunteer some of your time. (You may want to drag it to your desktop to open it.)

If you also felt you had some time to spare and wanted to be of assistance to your son/daughter as our classroom’s “room mother” (mum or mom depending on where you are from) then send me an e mail and we can discuss the role. It does not entail very much at the 5th grade level, mainly you are just a point person for co-ordinating a few events throughout the year. It can be as big or small a role as you and I decide to make it.

I am enjoying getting to know your child. They have minimal homework over these first few days but it will steadily increase to up to almost an hour a night from Monday through Thursday. Please check that your child is bringing home their school planner, organization is important to get right at this stage of the year.

Here is another copy of our classroom schedule for you to have and maybe print out and keep somewhere handy.

Bye for now
