Conferences

• In order to schedule a conference, please choose one of the following options.

1. Email your child's teacher using this site . Please keep in mind this email is only accessible in the classroom. However, for simple questions or minor concerns this is generally the quickest way to receive a response.

    3.  Notify the teacher in writing.

Dismissal

• Students are encouraged to celebrate their birthday's at school. Feel free to send in birthday treats. These treats will be passed out at lunch time.
• Please send all party invitations by mail.  We do not want any students to have their feelings hurt because they were not invited to the party.
• Students with summer birthday's will be given a "Happy UnBirthday"  at the end of the school year.

Testing

• Please help your child to prepare for all tests and quizzes adequately.  Please check out the Sites To Explore for more information.
• We do our best to schedule tests on different days. However, due to scheduling conflicts, this is not always possible.

Friday Packets

• All graded assignments will be sent home in Friday Packets. These folders are to be returned to school no later than Tuesday of the following week.
• Please sign all of the papers in the packet and return the packet to school.
• It is helpful to use these packets to monitor progress as well as provide insight to your child's specific strengths and needs.

Behavior Management

• A system of  rewards and reminders are used to monitor behavior.
• Students are awarded green cards for good behavior with a positive message given to the child.
• Students are given a yellow card as a reminder to check their behavior.
• Students will be handed a red card if the behavior continuous, homework is incomplete, or class rules have been broken.  Red cards result in walking the orange fence for a time during the recess period.
• See Our Classroom Constitution for more details.

   

Volunteers

• At various times throughout the year, both fifth grade classes will need parent volunteers. Volunteers are needed for field trips, in class helpers, and as extra hands for projects.
• If you are interested, please contact Mrs.Armero or Mrs. Quinn to let us know when you are available.
• All school volunteers are required to complete The Child Safe Program and Stand Training in order to work with the students.

We are looking forward to a safe, happy, and exciting school year.
