August 20, 2012 First Day of School

Dear Parent(s) Guardian(s),

     Welcome to the 2012 - 2013 school year. I have a lot of exciting activities planned. Your child will work in groups to complete some activities, projects, and assignments and at other times, your child will work independently. It is very important for your child to understand that as a third grade student, he/she will be expected to complete all assignments and turn them in on time. Your child should know that you and I will be working as a team to ensure the best education possible.
     I will expect students to come to class prepared. This means students should have supplies as neccessary. In preparing students for the future I will expect them to accept the consequences for their actions.
     Weekly homework and class work will be assigned and should be completed by the students. Homework is necessary for reinforcement of the skills learned during the day. Points will be deducted if turned in one day late. No assignments will be accepted if they are over one day late, unless lateness is due to an excused  absence. Assignments will be written in the agenda on Mondays. I will initial and check for accuracy for the first nine weeks. Parents please check your child's homework and initial in agenda that homework was completed. This is a must for the first nine weeks.
     Weekly folders ( Fultondale Folder) with current grades and discipline will be sent home each Monday. The parent will need to sign sheet in folder and return folder with papers to school with your child the following day.
     I will be using this blog as a communication tool. My weekly letter will be posted here with news, classroom activities, and pictures. My classroom blog is troberts@blogspot.com. I will let you know how to join. I believe this will be an effective tool for all of us to use to communicate.
     I am looking forward to an excellent, productive, and exciting school year. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at troberts@jefcoed.com or call the school at 379 - 3450 and make and appointment to meet with me.
     We are going to have a fabulous year!

                                                                         Sincerely,
                                                                         Mrs. Roberts
