Hello everyone,

The Innisbrook order forms also went home today. This is a great fundraiser for out school, so please check it out.

Thanks and have a good week!

Please check out the Scholastic Book Club order forms I sent home today. Ordering from these catalogs is a great way for your child to start the year with a selection of good books to read for AR and book reports. For your convenience, you may order online. My classroom code is GNZFR. You may also have your child bring the order form to class. I really appreciate orders from these first catalogs as we receive maximum points for free classroom supplies!
I'd like to submit my classroom order by August 30.

Thank you!

Hello,

We had a great first day. I have a wonderful group of students, all very respectful and motivated. I am looking forward to a great year with them!
I plan to update my blog each day with information regarding homework, projects and important school news, so please check it regularly. Your child will also be recording homework assignments in his/her planner. Unless otherwise noted, homework is due the following day.
I sent home some important papers today, including the district's computer policy form (which is located in the booklet) and your child's emergency card. Please fill out and sign both of these and return them to school this week. Thanks so much.

Best regards,
Mrs. Koue
