We Made It!

Hi Everyone!

We made it through our first day!  Expect your sweet littles to be tired...they took in a good amount of information today, but handled it perfectly!  Your children are a lively bunch of enthusiastic kiddos with tons of personality!  We are going to build a strong community and have great fun this year in Room 9.

Please check your child's backpack for a few important items:

• If you did not attend Open House or Back to School Night, your child will have a large manila envelope containing forms from the school office and a folder from me.  Both of these items were distributed on Tuesday.  Please complete all forms inside both the envelope from the office and the folder from me, and send them back to school as soon as possible.  Per our school office, I must have the following forms from you:

1. Blue "How Is My Child Getting Home?" Form
2. Yellow "Emergency Dismissal" Form
3. Pinebrook Handbook Acknowledgement Survey -- This is an online form you should complete and submit via the Pinebrook website.
4. Yellow "Student Rights and Responsibilities" Form
5. Green "Technology Use" Form 

• Your child has his/her homework folder today.  Please check the front clear pocket for an explanation of how we will use this important communication tool.  It should travel back and forth each day with your child.
• Your child has his/her agenda today.  Please check the front clear pocket inside the cover of the agenda for an explanation of how we will use this tool.  This will also travel back and forth each day with your child.  Please note...I did not speak much to the kids about their agendas today.  I'll explain more about them tomorrow.  However, I sent them home today to begin establishing the physical routine of bringing agendas back and forth, and knowing what to do with them at school. 

Please keep plugging away on all those forms.  I know they can be a lot and I promise that as a parent of kids who attend Loudoun County Schools, I feel your pain.  :)

I'll be in touch again tomorrow.  

Thank you so much!  Please let me know if you have any questions!  You will find me asleep on our classroom carpet.  :)
