  3. Transportation • One of our top priorities is getting your child home safely. In order to do that, we need your help. • If there is ANY change in how your child will be going home, a note must be sent. • Please include the following on all transportation notes: • Your child’s name • Teacher’s name • Date • Place the note in your child’s communication folder. • If a last minute change must be made during the day, please call or fax the note (with the same information) to the front office at 770-578-7214 no later than 1:00.

  6. Birthdays • We love to celebrate birthdays! We prefer individual snacks instead of a cake we would need to slice. • Please send a note or email me when you would like to celebrate this special time!

  7. Contacting Me • If you ever have a questions or concerns, please contact me. • You can drop a note in your child’s folder, email me (linden.moot@cobbk12.org) or call me (cell - 770-365-5482) • Due to our schedule, we may not receive your message until after the students have left. • If I have not returned your call or email by the next day, please drop a note in your child’s communication folder. • Email is usually the fastest way to reach me. • Please note that transportation changes can not be left on voice mail or email.

  8. Money • Please make sure any money you send in is marked properly and in the correct envelope. • ASP money must be in a brown ASP envelope that has been completely filled in. • PTA money can be in a plain envelope, but needs to be marked “PTA” and must show your child’s name, grade, and teacher’s name. • All money for field trips, performing arts, etc. must be sent in a white activity envelope. We will send the envelope with permission forms. This envelope must be completely filled in with your child’s name, classroom teacher’s name, grade and the necessary information at the bottom. Please DO NOT place any permission slips or order forms in the envelope; attach any forms to the outside of the sealed envelope.

  9. Snack • Please send in a healthy snack for your child each day. • We do not eat lunch until 11:54 and the children get very hungry. • We are flexible with snacks. Usually we eat around 9:30.

  10. Homework • Homework assignments will begin Aug. 16 and will be due Aug. 23. • Please help your child take responsibility for completing and returning homework. • Homework is an extension of study at school and allows your child extra practice. There will be worksheets and online homework. • Completed homework is due on Fridays.

  11. Medication • If your child needs to take medication at school or keep an inhaler for emergencies, please send in a detailed note. • A medication form from the clinic must be completed before any medicine can be administered.

  12. Label Belongings • Please label all personal items (jacket, book bag, lunch box, etc.). • Your child’s name should be clearly visible. • Many children have the same exact bag or coat. • If an item gets misplaced, let me know and I can remind your child to check the lost and found.

  13. Discipline • Behavior management is vital to creating a classroom where learning is the focus. • We want to develop a climate of respect and responsibility. • We use a system that enables us to provide positive reinforcement and encourage appropriate behavior by celebrating those students who do the right thing. • We will be a Leader in Me school and will use those 7 habits to encourage positive behavior.

  14. Point System • Points will be earned by students throughout the day as they model good behavior. • Students begin the day on a 3 and can earn or lose points throughout the day. • Students who end the day on a 3 or 4 earn a B-Buck. Students with a 5 earn 2 B-Bucks. • If a student has a 2 or 1 at the end of the day, we will write a note in their agenda explaining why they lost points. • Notes for behavior will be sent home from Specials teachers when necessary.

  15. Communication • The blue communication folder goes home with your child everyday. Please check it for completed work and other information. • Please check your child’s • Each teacher has a blog with information about their classroom. Mine is on the Eastvalley web site under 2nd grade teachers. The supply list is on there as well. • http://eastvalley.typepad.com/ • Your child will record their behavior number for the day in their agenda. Please sign it each night.

  16. Dialogue Journals • Step 1: On Thursdays (except for special occasions or holidays), students will be writing a journal entry reflecting on their school week. They will bring their journals home to share with you. • Step 2: Please ask your child to read the journal with/to you. Remember, this is a time for sharing, not for correcting spelling and other errors. • Step 3: Write a response to your child over the weekend. This would be a great time to encourage them and to give them positive feedback. • Step 4: On Monday morning, please make sure you have placed the journal in your child’s backpack. You will be surprised to see how anxious your child will be to get to school and read what you have written to them. • Thank you for participating and encouraging your child to become a strong writer through the Dialogue Journal.

  17. Drawer Store • Drawer store is on Fridays. Students can buy lunch with a friend, lunch with the teacher, homework pass, sit at the teacher’s desk, or no shoes day. • I frequently purchase items for the B-Buck store in order to make this a fun incentive for good behavior; however, I really appreciate any donations your family would like to make. • In the past popular items have been from the party-favor aisle at Wal-mart/Target, things from the Dollar Store, and Happy Meal prizes. Thanks!

  18. Thank You!! • Thank you for coming! • Please let me know if you have any questions! • I am looking forward to working with your child this year!!
