 Important Reminders

• Summer Uniform: The children are able to wear their summer uniform until the beginning of November. Basically, this is the gym shirt and shorts withe sneakers. If the weather is chilly, the children should not wear gym sweatpants unless it is Tuesday, our gym uniforms. If it is too cold for shorts, the children should wear their regular school uniform. Another uniform reminder is that the children should be wearing white or black ankle socks when wearing sneakers, not calf length or bright colored socks. Please see the school website for all uniform information. 
• Hot Lunch: Hot Lunch for October was sent home this week. Please be sure to copy or take a photo of the lunches you order before sending it in. Orders are due by 9/24.
• Fee and Papers: Please send back all papers, supplies, and $35.00.
• Option C passwords and usernames were sent home in your child’s business folder on an orange paper. You can view your child’s test grades online using option.com. I will also send the tests home to be reviewed and signed as well.
• Waivers: Please return the handbook waiver and the internet usage waivers signed, with your child’s name. 
•   Fridays Journals: Every Friday, your child will bring home a colored folder with paper inside. In this copybook, your child will write you a letter telling you about their week in school and will also ask you to write them a note in return. If the child brings the book back with a response, they will get a sticker to put on their front cover. I hope this is a fun way for you and your child to communicate about school, as well as, see the progress in their writing.
• Continue to cover workbooks and copybooks in clear contact paper. However, please be sure that the books are returned to school each day. We will be using all books this week.
• Check your child’s purple Business folder each night...
• Please try to remember to sharpen pencils each night.
• Regular school uniform begins on November 1^st. Notice changes in our uniform on the website.
• Label all clothing, backpacks, supplies, and lunch kits with your child’s name.
