Birthdays
We still like to celebrate birthdays in 3rd grade. Students who have summer birthdays will celebrate sometime throughout the year. Your child gets to choose how we will dress in honor of their special day. We can all wear their favorite color, have a wacky or fancy day, or have a theme day where we wear pajamas, sports shirts, hat day, buddy day, etc. It will be the birthday person’s choice. Look for upcoming birthday dress-up days in your child’s Student Planner!!
Lunches/Snacks
This year our class will be having lunch/recess from 12:30-1:30. This means the majority of our learning will take place in the morning. It is imperative that you encourage your child to eat a healthy breakfast before coming to school. I realize that sometimes this could mean eating at 6:30 am. This would make for an extremely long day for your child. Therefore we will be incorporating a snack-time in our mornings. Please send a HEALTHY snack with your child.
I would also like to make you aware that we have students with severe allergies to peanuts/nuts in our grade level. Our class has talked about making good choices for snacks and lunches regarding this matter. Please take extra care in reading labels when sending snacks and making lunches for your child. We have an approved snack list that all students need to follow when choosing a snack item. Please check that list out as it changes monthly.
As you may or may not know, our secretaries are extremely busy ladies. If your child forgets to bring his/her snack, s/he WILL NOT be allowed to go to the office to call home. I’m sure you can understand our reasoning. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Book Orders
Almost every month book club orders will be sent home. If you would like to order books for your child please place your ONLINE order using my class code GPJH4.
Arrival and Dismissal Times
School begins at 8:50am. Late arrivals must be walked into the MES office and signed in by a parent/guardian.
Dismissal starts at 3:15pm with the Walkers. 3rd grade exits out of EXIT W. After all walkers are all dismissed, the buses begin to arrive. Please follow the district dismissal procedures. If you have any questions please direct them to the MES office.
Absences
If your child will be absent, please call the Absentee Line at 708-478-4212. You may also email me if you forget and I will forward it to the office or use our CLASS DOJO messaging center for easy phone access.
