Dear Parent:
Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year. We hope the summer has
been pleasant and that you and your child are excited about the
start of a new school year. As we begin this year, we wanted to
discuss way of helping your child get the maximum from his/her
daily school attendance. Together, we can plan ways of helping
them succeed. Below we have listed some need to know facts about
3rd grade.
Please make sure your child begins each day well
rested and in a good frame of mind.
Encourage your child to come to school prepared with
his or her tools. Listed below are the required supplies
each 3rd grader will need.
Homework will be assigned nightly. Please check
with your child to ensure that homework is completed and
returned to school.
Every student has been assigned a planner. The
planner lists homework assignments as well as notes from
the teacher. The planner may also contain a behavior
grade for the day. The rubric code is listed below. We
ask that you review the planner daily and sign that you
have seen it.
Supply List Behavior Rubric
4 – Student followed the rules and had a successful day.
3 – Student followed the rules most of the time.
2/1 – Student seldom followed the rules and needed
correction.

In order to provide students with the excellent school
climate they deserve, we utilize the following Classroom
