Parents

Dear Parents,

 I am thrilled to welcome your children to Grade 4.  This school year promises to be an exciting one and I am really looking forward to spending another year with previous students, getting to know new ones, and working in partnership with you to create a positive, challenging, and enthusiastic learning environment

 

I strongly encourage students entering the junior grades to take responsibility for their own learning; students need to learn how to organize their time, materials, and space.  To support this skill development, agendas will be used as organizational tools for students.  The agendas have arrived, and can be purchased for $5.00. These do not only serve as a reminder of homework and special events, but also as a communication tool between the teacher and the parents, and a way to develop your child’s organizational skills.  Please check and initial your child’s organizer every night so I know it has been read.  Also, if you wish to write a note, feel free to use this space, as I will check it each morning.  

 

 Last year, many parents offered their assistance both in and out of the classroom. Their support was very much appreciated! Volunteers in the school system must have a police background check (which is to besubmitted to the main office) done before they come into the classroom. If you are interested in volunteering please let me know and I will contact you when needed.

  Throughout the 2008-2009 school year we may want to take advantage of the school’s immediate surroundings (i.e. Quality Daily Fitness, science investigations, etc).  Please return the tear-off that has been sent home so that your child has  permission to go on supervised walking trips.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school or via email. m2crowle@hotmail.com 

I look forward to meeting you, and working with youto ensure your child’s success this year.

 

Partners with you,

M.Crowley
