Hello soon to be 5th graders! I hope you are having an awesome summer! I am excited to meet you and learn together!
Please mark your calendars for Back to School Night on Monday, August 14th, from 6-8 pm. Presentations will be given every 30 minutes starting at 6:00 pm, with the final session beginning at 7:30 pm. Our classroom is in the south hallway, the second to last door on the right, Room 155.
The First Day of School is Wednesday, August 16th. The first three days are early out days with dismissal at 1:10 pm.
Here are a couple of things you can do now to prepare:
- Please subscribe to my blog by clicking on the icon to the right and inputting your email address.
- Grown-ups and students, please read through the Class Disclosure together and sign the form Class Disclosure Signatures .
- Please complete this short Family Survey to help me get to know your student better.
- Please complete this blanket Food Permission Form for the entire school year.
- Instead of purchasing school supplies, please pay a donation of $30 here: Online Payments, marking “Other” and typing “Shaw Supplies.” You can also pay in the Q1 Office. Please do so on or before Back to School Night and I will take care of all the shopping, labeling, and organizing of class supplies. To see what your $30.00 will cover, please click on the class supply list under the Family Information tab above.
Additionally, students will need to bring the following items on the first day of school:
- Headphones or earbuds–labeled with the student’s name. Parents will be responsible to replace broken or damaged headphones/earbuds throughout the year. We use headphones multiple times every day, throughout the day in the classroom. Please try to find the highest-quality headphones possible.
- Water bottle–Student may bring a small water bottle that they can have with them throughout the day.
- Small bag if needed–Only small bags are allowed for personal items if needed. Please, no large backpacks. They are not necessary. We are a technology school so we don’t send papers home often and classroom storage space is limited.
Additional donations for field trips and class parties may be requested as their respective dates approach.
Students can prepare for 5th grade by reading for 20 minutes every day, and practicing their multiplication and division math facts. Most of all, I hope you can get outside and have some fun!
Please email me with any questions or concerns you may have. We’re going to have an incredible year!
See you soon!
-Mrs. Shaw
