Homework will not normally be
assigned. If a child has work to do at home it
is because they were absent or was not able
to finish it in school because of time
management.
Independence is important to help
students build self-esteem and self-
confidence. Please encourage it with your
child at home.
Jobs Please practice reading and math
skills at home, but keep it fun. They spend
all day at their jobs so 15-20 minutes of
games and review is all they need.
Kindness All students will be expected
to treat their classmates and others with
respect and kindness.
Lunch time will be at 11:34. Library
will be once a week. The students will be
able to check out one book at a time. They

unless the other book is returned.
Math We will be using a different math
program this year, McGraw-Hill My Math.
It has many online resources for you to use
with your child. More information to come!
Notes will be sent home from the
teachers and office throughout the year.
Please keep an eye out for them and respond
accordingly.
Office Mrs. Grande and Mrs. Bryant
