Dear Parents,
We are off to a great start of the new school year. I have so enjoyed getting to know the
students this week and am looking forward to an exciting year ahead! Much of the week was spent learning the procedures
for 4th Grade. We discussed school expectations, such as: not talking in the hallways, respecting
others, being prepared for all activities, and always giving our best effort.
Below are just a few reminders/notes:
·
Please initial your child’s Choice Card on week 1 and
return the blue Friday Folder on Monday.
·
We
have snack time each day. Your child may
bring a dry snack and water bottle each day if he/she desires.
·
Included
in this week’s Friday folder is a letter with CRCT scores for students who took
the CRCT in 3rd grade.
·
I
will also be e-mailing a copy of this newsletter this week. If you do not receive an e-mail from me, you
may e-mail me at amy_howell@gwinnett.k12.ga.us and I will be happy to add you to our
e-mail list.
