Friendly Reminders
• Thank you for being on time!
• It’s essential to student learning
• Thank you for allowing your child to stay at school the full duration
of the day
• Things happen, but it is just as important for students to have
closure, reflection and organization at the end of the day!
• Please pre-plan after school arrangements. Thank you for sending
written notes with your child about change of plans (interrupting
during instructional time does not guarantee your child will get the
message).
• Label everything with your child’s first and last name
• Water bottles, lunchboxes, coats, etc.
• Tonight is informational for you, not parent/teacher conferences.
Please respect teachers with honoring that parent/teacher
conferences come later in the year when they have had an
opportunity to get to know your child.
Thank you for joining us!
We are here to partner with you and we are committed to your
children’s success.
