September letter

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,

I would like to welcome you to our grade 1/2 class. In this letter I have included some helpful information about our classroom routines and expectations.

SCHOOL SCHEDULE 2012-2013

School starts: 8:40 (door C from the school yard)

AM Recess: 9:55—10:10

Lunch: 11:30—12:25

LUNCH & SNACKS

Please provide your child with a nut-free lunch and snacks. If your child is to go home for lunch, please complete the appropriate form included in your package and you may also notify me with a note, a telephone call or come in to speak with me.

SAFETY

It is school policy for all visitors to enter the school through the main doors at the front of the building and to sign in at the office. This is for us to keep track of the adults in the building for the safety of everyone, students and adults. All doors are locked during school hours.

AGENDAS & HOMEWORK

Our class will be using agendas to foster responsibility and organization skills. The cost is $7.00 and this is to be submitted as soon as possible. Your child’s agenda will be brought home and returned to school everyday and may contain your child’s homework, important letters, forms and notices. Please ask to see your child’s agenda each day and ensure that homework is completed on time and with care. Homework is due the next school day unless stated otherwise. Please write any notes or questions in your child’s agenda in order for us to successfully communicate about your child’s needs and progress.

GYM CLASSES

Gym classes are on Day 4 and Day 5. Students must wear running shoes in order to successfully participate in gym classes. Gym will be taught by Ms. Yuill.

This is going to be an exciting and fun year for all of us. I am looking forward to working with all of you and to learning new things, trying out new ideas and celebrating our successes this year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at

416-396-6165 to  arrange a time to meet that is convenient for you.

I hope you had a great summer and I’m looking forward to a wonderful year!

Sincerely,

 Ms. Moledina
