Absences
· If your child is absent, please send an excuse note the day they return.
· Makeup work will be given when they return.
· The best time for appointments during the school day is between 12:00-2:00.
· If they are checked out at the end of the day, they are missing important Math or ELA instruction.
Take Home Folders/Agendas
· Gold Folders will be sent home every Wednesday. Please go through the papers and sign any that are noted. This is also where you will find any notes, memos, and information.
· Return lunch money, field trip money, changes of transportation, or notes to the teacher in the Gold Folder.
Class Dojo
· Fourth Grade is using Class Dojo to keep parents in the loop this year! We will share photos from class, updates, and wonderful moments – like when students work hard and help each other. It's free and takes under a minute to sign up.
· Class Dojo will also be the place where you will find information on your child’s classroom conduct.
· Sign up tonight!
Conduct
· All 4th Graders will start on their conduct with an ‘S’.
· They will have opportunity to move up to a ‘G’ or ‘E’ by going above and beyond classroom expectations.
· If a significant behavior issue arises, the appropriate teacher will contact parents directly.
Lunch/Snack
• The cost of lunch this year: Breakfast $1.50, Full Price $2.75 Adult Lunches $4.50
• Every parent will be given lunch coupons to be used for eating lunch with students.
• You may send store bought treats with your child to celebrate their birthday. Please no cupcakes with “mile high” icing.
• Lunch Money must be paid with cash or check. Please send lunch money in a labeled envelope or baggie.
• Due to nut allergies, please do not send anything to be eaten during snack time that contains nuts.
Supplies
· The supply list can be found online.
· Make sure you check with your student to see if supplies need replenishing.
· If your student gets a new backpack, please transfer the tags.
Grades- Assessment Cycle:
• Students will take pretests on our assessed math and reading standards.
• After approximately 14 days of instruction and interventions (based on the pretest deficits), students will take a posttest assessment on the same standard.
• Teachers will use the posttest data to create additional interventions for students who are retaking the assessment.
• An intervention prescribed by the teacher will be mandatory before a second opportunity will be given.
• A third retake opportunity may be available for students still needing more time to master the assessed standard.
• All second and third chance opportunities are up to teacher’s discretion.
Homework/Calendar:
• Check out the Math HW menu and 4th Grade Calendar for all your updates.
• Assessment dates and other important dates will also be on teacher webpages.
Dress Code
· Pants must be worn at the waist and must be the appropriate size and length.
· Footwear is required and must be safe and appropriate for indoor or outdoor physical activity. Tennis shoes are preferred for safety reasons. No Flip Flops are allowed. Shoes must have a back or a strap.
