    Reminders
  • Any money sent to school should be in a sealed envelope with your child's name, teacher's name and the purpose for the money.

  • Please do not allow your child to bring toys, makeup, or other items from home that will cause a distraction to others or that may be stolen or lost. Toys and electronics are not allowed at school or on the school bus. These things will be collected. You will need to come to school and collect any items that are collected from a student.

  • Student attendance is extremely important! Many of the activities that we do each day cannot be replicated with a worksheet or textbook pages. Consequently, students with poor attendance tend to have difficulty completing assignments and understanding concepts. Also, please be aware, that our afternoon schedule is just as content-oriented as our morning schedule, and so, it is very important that your child remain in class for the full school day. Please try to schedule all appointments after 2:30 each day.


    Nightly Homework (Monday-Thursday)
  • Review Sheet (Math and Reading)
  • Reading Response Log
  • Spelling Contract
  • Review notes, multiplication facts, and Race to the Governor's House questions

    My Love and Logic Philosophy:
