Mrs. Sibley’s Weekly Newsletter – 7/25/2022
Happy Monday!
I was overjoyed and ecstatic to meet you all at Open House and can’t wait for your kids to begin in my classroom tomorrow!
If you weren’t able to attend Open House or forgot to pick up my Parent Letter here is some helpful hints that I think will make the start of the school year go smoothly.
- SNACKS, WATER & LUNCH: Students should bring a reusable water bottle, healthy lunch and snacks. We will have a PM snack and lunch at 11am. We are a NO SUGAR and NO NUT school (including: peanut butter, Nutella, trail mix or granola bars with almonds or peanuts…). We do have a hot lunch option. Please see Mrs. Laramie’s emails for a link. Please note that there are no microwaves available for student use. Lastly, students must bring any utensils that they may need.
- TOYS, BLANKETS, FIDGETS & STUFFIES: Please refrain from allowing your student to bring any in as it can be a distraction from work. There will be special days when the kids can bring them. I will always let you know!
- FIELD TRIPS: We will be going on two Field Trips this year. If you want to chaperone (OR VOLUNTEER IN THE CLASSROOM), you MUST get your fingerprint clearance card prior. They take weeks to come in, so please plan ahead.
- BIRTHDAYS: We love celebrating birthdays, but do not allow sweets (cupcakes, donuts, cookies…) or balloons. Small prize-like toys are great or fruit snacks, goldfish…
- HOMEWORK: We encourage all of our students to read for at least 20 minutes every night. I will also be assigning homework (including: fun ELA & math games) on their Google Classroom (more information to follow).
- CAR TAGS: Please coordinate with front office if you were unable to pick up your car hang tag. This will be needed for dismissal. We will be putting on backpack tags tomorrow.
I am very much looking forward to another wonderful week! Do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions that you may have!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sibley
