- Home visits- We are really excited to start scheduling these. We have a few that signed up at Back to School night, but would love to see more families. The home visit can happen at your house, a public place, or even a sporting event. E-mail us back if you are interested! We will start scheduling in mid-September.
- Volunteering- We are looking for a parent or two who can commit to volunteering on Thursdays from 8:30-9:15 on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The volunteering would be running a reading group with a scripted curriculum and lesson plans. E-mail if you are interested.
- Room Parent- 104 Only!— Ms. Detmer’s class is still looking for a room parent! Please email her if you are interested!
- Update on First Six Weeks!— We are almost 2 weeks into the first six weeks! It’s hard to believe how fast time is going! As many of you know, we in third grade use Responsive Classroom as our guiding management system. That means that for the first six weeks we are focused on routines and rituals. Today we had our first fire drill and thanks to that practice we received many compliments from adults around the school. Moving forward we will be adding in more responsibilities for students and getting closer to our "regular" lives! We ask that parent volunteers start after the first six weeks so that we can ensure our classrooms are fully understanding and implementing expectations. We will have a party to celebrate the end of these first six weeks and look forward to you joining us!!
- Attendance and Tardies— At DGS attendance and tardies are something we are working very hard to curb. It is important that your child is at school and on time every day! We begin our day setting expectations for the community and school day. We have noticed many students are tardy or absent. Please help us by getting your child on time. This will help them lots so that they can hear whole lessons and not need to spend other time catching up.
- Parent Hopes and Dreams— We are missing a few parent hopes and dreams and family informations! We will send home another set of papers. We have hung YOUR hopes and dreams up in our classrooms so your student can see what you are wanting for them this year. We want ALL of your hopes and dreams hung! If it is simpler to email them to us or you’d like to double check that your hopes and dreams are hung please feel free to email us!!
