First Newsletter for 2008-2009

Welcome to a new school year! This is my first newsletter of the school year. Normally, I will publish one every Thursday on our website.

Here are a few reminders that will help us get off to a good start:

• Remember to send in a change of clothes and an art smock or oversized t-shirt to school if you haven’t done so. We’ll be painting several days this week, starting tomorrow.

• Children should bring a small snack each day to eat during morning recess. 

• Be sure to talk over the rules of conduct in the school handbook with your child.

Homework begins next week. It will be passed out Monday in a folder and is expected to be returned on Friday morning. 

During Open House, Wednesday August 27, I will give you a comprehensive schedule of the day and hopefully answer your questions. If something pressing comes up for you before then, don’t hesitate to contact me. You can write me a note and send it with your child or call me in the classroom at 441 - 3827 (there is voicemail if I am not able to pick up for some reason) or you can leave me an e-mail message at cbailie@midpac.edu. The best times to reach me by phone are 7:15-8:00 or 2:30-3:00, depending an my other duties. In all cases, I will make any necessary responses as quickly as the schedule allows.

I have included a specials schedule. Please note that our class is scheduled for PE on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Be sure your child wears athletic shoes and sunscreen. A water bottle and hat are also recommended.

It was a wonderful first day!
