Autumn is in the Air

Dear Families,
​The fourth week of school has been busy and full of learning!  Our class is working hard to build a trusting, positive class environment so all students can flourish.  In creating a caring classroom community, we continue to deepen our connections to each other.  My hope is that all students will feel nurtured, respected, and have a sense of belonging so they will be able to grow and learn to their full potential. 


BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT
Back to School Night is Tuesday, Sept. 12. The meeting will start promptly at 7 pm. Thank you for setting up childcare arrangements for this evening.  There will be a sign up sheet for parent conferences at this time. 

ABSENCES
If your child is going to be absent, please send an email to me and copy Cynthia Quesnel, our CCE registrar, to let us know. Please be sure to state your child’s first and last name, as well as the reason for the absence. Another option is to go to the CCE website. There’s a quick link on the parent page to report an absence. If possible, I greatly prefer that you pick up your child's work that they missed for the day.  I try to have all work to the office by noon. 

PEACH JAR
In an attempt to save paper, many Tuesday folder papers are now being sent electronically. If you have not subscribed to Peach Jar, please do so as soon as possible through this link. Without a subscription, you may miss something important!
