Mid-week Thunderstorm Post

Assalamu alikum,

This post is reaching you midweek Wednesday night. We have gotten into our routine and settled into our schedule and begun to dive into academic lessons.

A couple notes:

Planners: Planners should be signed daily by parents. A quick signature lets me know that students are communicating with their parents. Planners are an important communication tool. If a student loses a planner, please contact the office to get a replacement.

Class Dojo: The Class Dojo information is the same as last year. If you forgot your login information, I am sending home connection information. In Class Dojo, I post quick reminders and updates along with videos and pictures of class activities. I also record student behavior points. At the end of the week, I will send home a point summary for the week. This should be signed by parents and returned Monday.

Attendance:
Tardies -  please try to arrive on time.
Absences - If your child will be absent, please notify the office as soon as possible. The office will notify me. 
Here is our class schedule:
7:50 - 8:05am - Arrival
8:05 - 8:15 - Assembly (Students are marked tardy after 8:05)
8:15 - 9:15 - Math
