Helpful Hints for Parents 
2007-2008

Welcome to Third Grade!
Here are some helpful hints to make a great start to the year!

School begins at approximately 8:15. Children should arrive between 7:45 and 8:15.  Please do not drop your child off before 7:30 as they won't be supervised. The tardy bell rings at 8:20.

If your child is riding a different bus home, please send a note stating this signed by the parent or guardian. 

Please send any lunch money in an envelope with your child's name on the front. Your child can bring this to the gym before school begins.

Please label all supplies, coats, and mittens with your child's name.

Encourage your child to talk about his/her day and take time to look at your child's work. 

Allow time for your child to adjust to school routines.  Each year brings new routines and expectations. 

Every Friday I will send home a classroom newsletter.  Please watch for these as they will have helpful information and reminders for the following week.

We have P.E. on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Please be sure your child is dressed for fun and play and is wearing shoes he/she can easily run in.

On Mondays we will be visiting our school library.  Books need to be returned on every Monday.

Tuesday and Fridays we have music.
