In wintry weather, this means students need to come to school with boots, hat, gloves, warm jacket, and ski pants. An extra pair of warm socks is also very helpful to have stored in one s backpack. State fire codes prohibit students from wearing slippers or just socks when indoors. Our goal is for teachers to provide parents with comprehensive, meaningful information about each student s social and academic progress. We want the exchange of information between home and school to be regular, positive, and useful.
Teachers send home class newsletters on a regular basis.
These letters include information about what skills and topics are currently being addressed at school and how parents might support and reinforce this learning at home. Classroom letters also describe upcoming thematic units and special events. Individual student growth and progress is shared with parents through trimester student portfolios and progress reports that are distributed in November, March and late June. In addition, upper elementary grade teachers use homework folders that go home with each student. It is helpful if parents review the contents of these folders with their child on a daily basis.
