Dear Families,
The new school year is just around the corner, and I'm thrilled to welcome all our students back! I'm confident this will be a fantastic year filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. I'm sharing this newsflash to help ensure we start the year off on a positive and organized note.
Sign Ups
If you haven't seen it yet, I have sent three sign-up genius emails to get things started before everything gets too busy. The following sign-up genius links are for ways parents can volunteer in the class, our class Wishlist, and a sign-up for all of our Pizza Friday snacks for this school year. I will attach the links below; please feel free to review and sign up for any of the items of interest.

Back-to-School Supplies
I’m thrilled for the new school year and so excited to begin this journey with your children! While I will be out of town for training in Boston and unable to attend the upcoming school-wide Open House, I’ve already had the opportunity to hold my Open House earlier this summer.
Families are still warmly welcome to visit Room #207 to drop off school supplies.
The classroom will be open for supply drop-off on Friday, August 1, between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m.
If you have any questions or would like to say hello before the first day, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I’ll be checking messages regularly and will respond within 24 business hours.
Thank you so much for your support and partnership. I'm genuinely looking forward to a joyful, engaging, and triumphant school year together!
Summer Homework
Please ensure your child starts the school year off on the right foot, feeling prepared and ready. Summer homework will be collected on the first day of school. If your child attended an academic camp or completed any online math lessons (for specific students, I assigned online math), please let me know, and I will count that as part of their math summer homework. The online math was optional.
We will begin book talks in the first week of school; this will be the time when your child will give a brief presentation on the book report project they chose to complete over the summer.
Below, I have attached the links for the math summer homework in case anyone has misplaced theirs. I will also attach the book report project options for anyone who needs them.

Parent Orientation

Parent Volunteering
Suppose you are interested in volunteering as a parent in any capacity. In that case, whether assisting in the classroom, on campus, or as a driving chaperone, you will need to ensure that all parent volunteer forms and documents are completed and submitted. I recommend that everyone complete all necessary documentation, just in case, so that the process of volunteering runs smoothly.
If you completed these documents last year, you will need to complete them again for this year. Unfortunately, the forms do not carry over from one year to the next.
Listed below are all the links needed for the parent volunteering.

Have a blessed and beautiful week.
