Welcome Back to School

Welcome!  Or Welcome Back!!  We have a very exciting year ahead of us!  Even though most of you know how much I LOVE summer, somewhere around the second week of July I always start to look forward to the new school year getting started.  Like last year, Mr. Brown will be teaching Math and Science to my homeroom students and I will be teaching Reading, Spelling, and Writing to his homeroom students.  Remember that Meet the Teacher Night is on August 4 at 6pm.  You will have homework, so if you aren't going to be there make sure you stop by to pick up homework and to let me know you won't be there.

We will have order forms for new Spirit shirts on sale in the office on August 4.  You can still wear the old Spirit Shirts, but I encourage you to get a new one for things like field trips.  Remember: Spirit shirts can be worn instead of a uniform shirt on Fridays (and you can wear jeans with them instead of a uniform bottom—you can only wear jeans with a Spirit Shirt!!!).   ***New this year, we have sweatshirts for sale that you can wear in the classroom when it is cold!  You can wear these sweatshirts any day of the week over a uniform or you can wear them on Fridays as a Spirit Shirt!***

 REMINDER: The first day of school is Thursday, August 6^th and it is A HALF-DAY!  Make sure you make arrangements to be picked up at noon.  (It is not a dress down day-- for new parents I will explain more about dress down in a later Daily News).   You may wear spirit shirts (or your old honor roll shirts) on Friday.

 Before you leave on Meet the Teacher Night, please turn in your contact information to the Progress Report Bin and don’t forget to bring the two signature forms (from the Welcome Packet and the Handbook) on Thursday, August 6.
