Classroom Information
Welcome to Third Grade!!
School Hours: 8:14-3:15
Your child needs to be at school promptly at 8:14!! Attendance, lunch count and a warm up activity will take place as soon as the bell rings. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated because starting the day on time helps to make sure all students begin their day in a positive way.
Thank you all so much!
Notes/Newsletters
Monthly news here on the updates section of my Weebly will keep you informed as to what we're learning in the classroom, what tests are coming up, and what special events are planned for the upcoming months. Information can be accessed through the website and a paper copy will be sent home if requested. http://gilleansgazette.weebly.com or please use the link found on the North Oakview website at: www.nvps.net/northoakview
Friday Folders
Each Friday a "Friday Folder" will come home (or the last day of school that week). This folder contains important notes from the office as well as our weekly papers. The items in the folder that come home are yours to keep- unless the paper states otherwise. The Friday folder needs to be returned to school Monday!! Please help your child be responsible with this.
Report Cards/Grades
Most papers we work on will be checked/corrected in class. Some of our important work and assessments will come home with a percentage score on them. These scores are recorded and used to help determine report card grades. Our report cards are marked on a 3, 2, 1 scale. (at this time with 3 being the highest score. )
3= Meeting Standard
2= Approaching Standard
1= Working Below Standard
Snack
We will have time for a morning snack break every day. Third graders are responsible for bringing their own nutritious snack. This snack should not include juice drinks or things that need utensils. It is a short learning break and not a lunch period. I will keep a snack of pretzels for students who may forget a snack occasionally. Thank you for your support!
**Allergies **
If your child has a food allergy or any other allergy that I should be aware of, please let me know as soon as possible. Please let the office know in writing what the specific allergy is and any procedures you would like us to follow to ensure the safety of your child.
Water Bottles
Students may bring a water bottle to class. Reusable water bottles are welcomed, every day, as long as they do not become a distraction to the learning environment. The water bottles must have a spout that can be secured, no screw-off caps. All water bottles need to go home EVERY Friday to be cleaned/washed to help reduce germs.
Birthday Treats: The North Oakview school policy has recently changed and birthday treats at school are no longer allowed.
I have always celebrated with students by playing a birthday game to celebrate their special day and they get a sticker to wear during school that day. **If you have questions please contact the office. Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Holiday Parties
We have three scheduled holiday parties set up for this year: Halloween, Gingerbread Celebration, and Valentine's Day. There will be a sign up sheet for parents/guardians at open house and there will be an online reminders as the party gets closer. All family members are always welcome to attend our holiday parties. All volunteers must fill out the parent volunteer form in the office before volunteering. Thank you for your cooperation. The safety of our students is very important to us all!
Electronic Equipment/Toys from Home
I do request that students do not bring any electronic games, cell phones, iPods, or any other toys from home to school. These items are easily lost, broken or stolen and can cause major distractions at school. These items can be costly and it is best if they are left at home. I appreciate your support reinforcing this.
School Rules/Expectations
Our school has implemented a school wide behavior plan called P.A.W.S. (Positive Actions With Students). The four elements of PAWS are being Responsible, Respectful, Ready and Safe. The students are learning how these elements are applied during all parts of their day. Look for posters throughout the school. In my classroom a fifth element has been added to the list, and that is: Be Honest. Thank you for helping support your child in learning to make these actions a positive part of their life at school and at home!
