    I will be sending a Classroom Newsletter out every Monday. You can review this newsletter via email, our
    class website, or hard copy. In addition, I will use a Communication Folder to communicate with you, as
    well as send home any homework, paperwork, or notices from the school. Please review the contents of
    the Folder and make any comments on the paper inside. This Communication Folder routine will begin
    during the second week of school. Also, remember to contact me which is most convenient for you.
    Lockers
    Students are learning how to use their lockers this year. Any support from home (if you have a
    combination lock for practice) is much appreciated! Student lockers should be for coats and backpacks
    only, as well as extra supplies. Students may access their lockers at the beginning and end of the day,
    and before and after lunch. Cell Phones must be kept in their lockers on silent until the end of the day.
    Absent Work
    It is very important that students attend school every day. In the event that a student must be absent,
    families need to notify the office. Each child must be take responsibility for checking with a tablemate to
    find out what was missed. There will be an Absent Work tray near my desk. If what was missed is still
    unclear, students may see me for help. If a student is out sick for an extended period for any reason,
    please let me know and we can arrange for work to get home to you.
    Bathroom Breaks
    Fourth graders will receive bathroom breaks before school, in the morning, and in the afternoon.

    send a treat in with them so long as it is peanut-free.
