Parents and students,

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful track out.  Please send your student with an extra bag on Friday in case they cannot fit everything in their book bag.  As usual we will empty our desks and try to keep track of everything to return at the end of August.  

I appreciate your patience with the reading homework while we work out the kinks.  I hope to have a better idea what it looks like when we return from track out.  In the mean time, keep your children reading daily.  20 minutes is best for focus stamina and reading growth.  Mrs. Wall in the media center has started an optional reading challenge you might want to consider doing.  You can sign up under the link and keep your kids motivated over break.

Enjoy your track out!

Parents,

Thank you for coming to Open House last night.  It was so nice to meet everyone.  Please take a look at the link below to go over the rules of BYOD with your child this evening.  That will hopefully answer most of your questions.

I will be updating the weekly homework soon for next week.

Again, thank you for coming last night and I hope you all have exciting plans for Track Out.

Sincerely,

Welcome 2017-2018

Dear Parents,

We are off to a great start to the new school year!  Our hallways are being painted and they look terrific.  I hope you will join me for Open House next Tuesday night at 5:30 PM.  I look forward to meeting you there.  

Many of you have turned in your BYOD forms to allow your child to bring in devices for use in the classroom for educational purposes.  I wanted to wait until after Open House to allow students to bring in their devices.   If you have time before Wednesday, please take a look at the link to Ms. Hawley's website FAQ about BYOD.  There is a new updated form going home on Monday that will also need to be signed and returned before bringing in devices.  I apologize for the duplication but we just got the form this afternoon and I was unaware that the form was being updated.

We have started having homework in Math this week.  If your child rides the bus there is a strong possibility they completed their homework in class while waiting.  I always tell children to take it home even if it is completed so you can look at it and get an idea what they are working on in class.  We will start our reading homework next week but they should be reading for 20 minutes everyday.  

Please email me with any questions at asimmons@wcpss.net 

Important dates to remember:
Open House 7-18-17  5:30 PM
BOG Testing Day TBD (week of 7-24-17)
Walkathon for Track 3 is 8-31-17 at 10:30 AM (rain date is 9-8-17)

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,
Anne Simmons
