It was great seeing everyone at Back-to-School night last night.  I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and I am excited to see everyone on Tuesday.  Here are a few reminders for the first week of school.

*  All next week will be short days, 8:30am – 1:30pm.
*  On the first day of school everyone will come straight to class, but only that day. 
*  Please bring all supplies the first day of school.  We will be using the personal supplies that very first day.
*  Please complete the Parent Survey.

This is going to be a great year and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and helping you learn and discover new things!

     It is hard to believe that school is about to start.  Just a few quick things to do before school starts.

1st:  Please subscribe to my blog.  I will do 99% of my communication through the blog and it is a great way to keep up with what we are doing in class.

2nd:  Back to School Night is Friday, August 17^th, more information to come.

3rd:  Our class supply list can be found under the Parent Information tab.  Please bring all supplies to back to school night, or the first day of school.  We will be using those first three days of school to get our supplies organized and ready for the school year.

Last:  Paper work, yuck!  Please take a few minutes to look over the class disclosure, found under the parent information tab, with your student and sign the E-Form, found at the bottom.  Also, please complete the Parent Survey, also found under the Parent Information Tab.  This survey will help me know your students needs and allow me to know the best way to help them succeed in our class.


I am looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks.  Enjoy the rest of your summer break!
