  1. Dear Parents or Guardians, Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! I am very excited about the adventures we are going to have this year at Cedar Lane. This information sheet should help you become acquainted with me, our classroom procedures, and our school procedures. You, as the parents/guardians, are my best link to your child’s strengths and weaknesses. I consider our relationship a partnership. With your help and support, we will have a very successful school year. Weekly Communication: I will be sending a folder home with your child every Friday. In this folder, you will find graded assignments and any communication pertaining to our class and school. I ask that you sign the folder and return it with your student on Monday morning. You may keep the graded work at home with you. • Snack: • Mid-afternoon Snacks & Water Consumption • I have found it beneficial for the class to have a mid-morning healthy snack. This year, our lunch is at 11:50; therefore, everyone needs to bring a snack. Only send enough for one day, and please do not send snacks that need refrigeration. Only healthy snacks are permitted, and it is helpful to avoid snacks that require a spoon. I also permit my students to bring a water bottle to school to keep on their desks during the day and to use at recess. Plain water is the only beverage permitted, and the bottle must have a secure lid. The water bottle should be taken home on a regular basis to be cleaned. The following are examples of healthy snacks that we can enjoy while we continue to work. • Apples Grapes • Carrot sticks Pretzels • Oyster crackers Graham Crackers • Cheese crackers Dried Fruit • Small box of raisins Protein or Nutrition Bar • Cut fruit Cut vegetables • Tip: If the word “cheez” with that Z is in the title, it probably isn’t healthy. Baked chips are acceptable, and also 100 calorie packs.

  2. Homework/Classwork I believe that homework is necessary for students to practice skills that have been learned, in addition to, enriching their classroom experience. On the other hand, I do not believe in overloading students with busywork. In many cases, homework is simply unfinished classwork. In order to help students become organzied, students are given a Student Planner (Agenda), and a homework folder. They will write their assignments in their planner and place any important papers in their folder. Once they complete an assignment, they should place it in the front pocket of the folder. I encourage parents to review the contents of your child’s homework folder and planner each night. You may assist your student in the completion of their homework, but please do not do it for them. In addition, I will list the week’s homework on our class website. If you notice that your child is becoming frustrated or unable to complete an assignment, please let me know. Homework is meant to reinforce concepts taught in class, and is often an extension of our work that day or week. Classroom Management: I strive to maintain a positive learning environment with a focus on enabling student to understand and respect one another. Our classroom rules state: 1. Respect yourself. 2. Respect others. 3. Respect our school. Students will be able to monitor their own behavior record on student dojo. It is important for students to realize that each day is a new day and they come in with a blank slate.

  3. Parent-teacher Communication: If you have any questions or would like to schedule a conference, there are several ways you can contact me. You may send a note to school with your child, and I will respond as soon as possible in writing or verbal communication. You may call the school at (703) 957-4480 and leave me a message, or you may email me at wyatt.floyd@lcps.orgfor the fastest result. I check my email several times a day, and find this the most efficient means to contact me. Transportation: If you have a transportation change for your child, please send written documentation or a brief phone call to the office. I am looking forward to a great year. Each student must do his or her own part in maintaining a positive learning environment, with me here to guide them towards success. I also ask you to join me by being a support team for your child. Together we can make this a very successful school year. Thank you in advance for all your support, Wyatt Floyd
