~Behavior~Tornado sign for everyone to be quiet down and listen.

We want to keep you informed of your child’s daily experiences in the classroom so we came up with a 3 square system. On the cover of the folder are three colored squares. These squares will be used to inform you of your child’s behavior. The first square is Green for great behavior all day, yellow is for several warnings, red will warrant a call or note home to the parents. At the beginning of school we give the students lots of warnings as they learn the rules. By the third week of school we expect the students to comply with all of the rules.

Reminder** Your child is able to purchase supplemental snacks in the school cafeteria unless a parent/caregiver writes a note stating otherwise.

If you have any candid or group photos from your childs sporting event please send them as an attachment to Mrs Wilcox and we may use them for this years yearbook! My email address is
