NOTES COMING HOME TODAY:

There are a bunch!  Important ones to look for:

-letter from the cafeteria re: accounts for those who purchase school lunches

-letter from the PTO to be filled out and returned if you want to be included in the following:

1. Student Directory (top portion)

2. Class Contact Information and Room Parent Application (bottom portion)

Take note that these are two separate means of communication that are voluntary as far as your inclusion in them!

Remember: no school Friday or Monday!!!

Some dates to keep in mind...

No school this Friday, September 2nd or Monday, September 5th

OPTIONAL instrument lessons are available for 4th graders!  If your child is interested, there is a note coming home today with all of the information that you need to know about the program!  There is an email address for Matt Hunter who is the band director at our school if you have any questions.  Please be aware that there are specific deadlines and dates of registration to keep in mind!

Grade 4 Curriculum Night will be held on Wednesday, September 24th at 6:15 here at our school.

SUPPLIES - please check the supply list for 4th grade (link is above) to ensure that your child has all that he/she needs to have a successful school year.  If you have any questions about any of these items, please let me know!

Welcome back and I hope that you all had an amazing summer!
 I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and my new class.  We will spend this week learning about 4th grade procedures, expectations, etc!  

A few things to keep in mind...
MANY notes from the office are sent home this week - today two are coming home that require return (one is the peanut free sign off and the other is the Student Health Info sheet - please return these as soon as possible!)

Feel free to contact me at any time with questions.   Email is definitely the best option:
lavertyj@grafton.k12.ma.us

Please ask your child to explain their agenda books to you - these are new for them this year and require a parent signature each night...

First "homework":
Biography Bag by Thursday - this was sent home as well today.

I am working hard to update the blog for this school year - so far I have updated the specials schedule, the about me page, and the school supply list.

I hope your children had a great first day of fourth grade!
