I am so excited to be starting a new school year and having the opportunity to work with you and your child. This letter will outline my rules, expectations, and schedule. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

· __Be respectful and polite to everyone in the building.__ By fourth grade, students should know to treat others they way that they would want to be treated. · __Come prepared to work everyday.__ This means that a student should come to school with all necessary supplies and assignments. They should be mentally and physically ready (getting a good night’s rest and eating a healthy breakfast). · __Work quietly and independently.__ Every child has a different way of learning academic materials. There will be times when students are asked to discuss subject matter or to brainstorm with other students. However, when a student is asked to work by themselves and quietly, they should follow the teacher’s instructions. · __Walk in a single, straight, and quiet line in the hallway.__ This insures the best learning environment for other classes in the building. · __Raise your hand to speak or to be excused.__ This rule allows students and myself to not be interrupted when they are talking. It also allows me the opportunity to evaluate students’ responses and questions. · Homework: Homework assignments need to be completed. Homework is assigned as reinforcement of skills learned in school that day. It should not take any longer than 40 minutes to complete each night. You can expect homework assignments 4 nights a week (every night except Friday). Students are required to show their work. Their homework will be recorded on a daily basis in their agendas. See homework policy for homework guidelines. · Dismissal Routine: I will be asking your child their ‘normal’ way of getting to and from school (bus, walker/rider, after –school program). ANY CHANGES IN THIS ROUTINE NEEDS TO BE SENT TO THE SCHOOL IN WRITING OR CALLED INTO THE OFFICE! I cannot release your child from the classroom without him/her being called to the office first. Your child’s schedule will be kept in his/her agenda.
