Back to School Night is Coming!

Hi all!

We’re three weeks into the new school year and getting up to speed. Word study and our first novel study will begin next week.

Back to School Night is this Thursday from 7pm – 8:30pm. The evening begins in the Reed Theater with classrooms opening at approximately 7:30. I am attaching a copy of my Back to School information packet, and am sending a hard copy home with your child today. Please look over this prior to Thursday night and bring any procedural questions with you that night. Please remember I will not be able to speak with you about your individual child on that evening.

Monday folders will be coming home this afternoon. Please review the work with your child, sign the folder, and send the empty folder back tomorrow.

Book orders are also coming home today. I am sending orders for September, October, and an Accelerated Reader catalog with your child. These orders are due by Thursday, Sept. 25. I will submit the orders by computer on that day. Please make checks payable to Scholastic Book Clubs.
