Multiplication Madness Celebration/Valentine’s Day Card Swap

**We will be passing out Valentine’s Day cards on February 14th (before the Multiplication Madness Celebration).  We have 24 students in our class.  I prefer for the students not address the student’s names on the Valentine Cards.  It takes double the time to pass them out if they are addressed to each individual student in our class.  Please have your child just sign each of their cards.  Remember not to send candy with your cards.  You can bring anything else that is not edible.  WE WILL NOT BE MAKING VALENTINE’S DAY BOXES OR BAGS TO HOLD CARDS.  STUDENTS ARE WELCOME TO BRING BOXES OR BAGS FROM HOME.  I WILL HAVE PAPER SACKS TO GIVE THE STUDENTS THAT NEED SOMETHING.**

We will need parents to help and volunteer with the Multiplication Madness Ice Cream Sundae Party.  Parents that are able to come and help us, please come to the Q1 gym on February 14th @ 1:30 in the afternoon.  I know a lot of parents aren’t able to make it to the party, but we are in need of donations as well.  Our class is responsible for:

135 spoons
135 bowls-
135 napkins

Please let me know if you would like to help with volunteering and/or donating on this day. Any parents that can come to help, please bring an ice cream scooper.  Thanks so much for all your support with all our extra shenanigans in third grade!  You’re all the best!

Name Badges

Posted on by
Reply
We are hoping to get some help with an issue we are having at the school regarding missing name badges. As stated in our Handbook, “Everyone is required to wear their name badge to attend class (the name badge must be that of the current school year). Please reinforce having name badges as they create a safer environment at the school. To replace a lost name badge, your child will need to pay $5.00 for a new one. A student without a name badge will be referred to the office to call home. Parents/Guardians will be expected to bring their child’s name badge or pay $5.00 for a replacement. Only then will students be allowed to return to class.” Elementary students are to leave their name badges in their classrooms at the end of the day. Jr. High students are encouraged to leave their name badges in their lockers before leaving. To ensure your child receives a full day’s worth of learning in the classroom, please make sure their name badge is left at school and returned the following day if accidentally taken home. Please note, that you have this week as a grace period to either find your child’s lost name badge or replace it for $5.00. Starting Tuesday, January 16 (one week from today), students who do not have name badges will not be attending class until a new one is purchased or their old one is returned. If parents are working when their children call, they are more than welcome to either pay for a badge using a credit card over the phone or to pay online.
