Weekly News: A successful week 2!

I can't believe we're done with week 2 already! Homework began this week and we're getting used to the routine of writing down homework and completing everything.

A few reminders for this upcoming week:

  • Safety Valet forms for any interested people are due on Tuesday, August 30th... If you need a form it can be found HERE
  • Picture Day forms went home last Wednesday. Picture Day is on Thursday, September 8th. I am happy to hold on to everyone's forms until then. Just have your student bring it to school.

Eagle TV participants only: 
Your permission slip is due on Monday. Mrs. Carrolan and I are hosting a training during the school day on Monday, and we need your permission slip in order for you to participate. Email me if you have questions.

I hope you've had a chance to take a look at the class site and get used to where things are. If you have not done so yet, please go to the earlier post, HERE, and fill out the Google Form with your contact information.


Field Trip Drivers/Chaperones Wanted
We'd love to have you join us for future field trips. Please head to our class signup, HERE, to submit your name for future field trips. I will only be contacting those of you who have submitted your name.

In order to drive and chaperone you need to complete two things for the school:

  1. Driver's Insurance Form...  filled out and approved by Mrs. Wolfinger. The fillable online version can be found HERE. Print it out and send it in with your student.
  2. Volunteer Clearance Form... most likely turned in during Walk Thru Registration. If not, please make sure you submit it to Mrs. O'Neal as soon as possible.

It has been a great first week of school! I'm so glad each and every one of you are in my room this year. I know we are going to have a great year together.

Parents, thank you so much for coming to Back to School Night last night. It was great seeing familiar faces and meeting so many new families. The BSTN presentation is linked up in the "Classroom" section of our website, or you can find it HERE.


Also, for any students still interested in joining Eagle TV, applications are due by Tuesday! The application can be found HERE. I hope you'll join us!


If you haven't already submitted your information into our Google Form, please do so soon.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Back to School Action Items 2016


I'm so happy to have your family in my classroom this year! To help speed up the process for Back to School Night, below are a few things you can do now. 


First, please fill out the embedded Google Form with information for your family. This will help you stay updated on everything that is happening in the classroom. You can also fill it out HERE, if the embedded document doesn't work.


You can also subscribe to our website by looking on the right hand side for the "Follow By Email" tab. This will provide you with updates to your email address anytime I post something new. 



Second,
 there are TWO signups you will want to check out this week...
Parent Volunteers -- 
2 room parents are needed to work together to help plan parties, send emails, be a liaison for PTA information, etc. Also please sign up to be a driver for any future field trips we will have. I will only be emailing parents from this list to be drivers for all future field trips.

November Conferences 2016 -- 
please sign up for a report card conference time that will be held the week of November 14th, and a few on November 9th and 10th.





Third, please link up with me through REMIND. Remind will let me send out important alerts and reminders about assignments, tests, field trips, etc straight to your phone or email. You can also contact me through the site. I do recommend if your child has their own device, phone or tablet, you think about having them sign up too. It will give them direct access to information and keep them accountable for their own work.

You can go to this link, https://www.remind.com/join/9bge7h to sign up, or download the Remind App to your phone.  You can also follow the instructions below.








I'm looking forward to meeting all of you on Thursday at Back to School Night at 7:00pm. There is an informational meeting with Mrs. Berglin from 6:45-7:00 in the MPR prior to our class session. Our classroom is upstairs, room 12C. Please remember this is only for parents, students do not need to attend.
