  • Homework Folder & Assignment Sheet
    Students will use the homework folder I provide them to carry their assignment sheet and other important papers, notes, homework, and graded materials home. It is the students' responsibility to make sure papers they need to complete their homework is neatly placed in their homework folder, and placed in their backpacks. Students should empty the folder's contents, and share what is inside with an adult. Anything that needs to come back to school the following day should be neatly placed in the homework folder. This helps the students build organizational skills and eliminates a lot of confusion!
  •  Students will write homework and reminders on their assignment sheet each day. These sheets should be looked at each night and must come back to school every day. The reverse side of the assignment sheet is where your child will record their nightly 20 minute reading work.
  • Communication Please feel free to jot me a note, call, or email me at [email protected] with any concerns or questions you might have. I will respond as quickly as I can, usually the very day I receive your message.
  • Snack
    Students are allowed to bring ONE small snack and drink to have while working in the morning. Water bottles are also encouraged, although there is a bubbler in the classroom to help with thirst!

    Hot Lunch
    Burgess uses mySchoolBucks lunch system. You may pay for lunches in advance by creating an account online or send a check/money in an envelope with your child's first and last name. Make sure your child memorizes their ID number if they are purchasing lunch, as they are required to type it in at the register. 
    Hot Lunch: $2.75 (includes milk)
    Lunch Milk: $0.50
     
    Personal BelongingsPlease keep personal and valuable items at home unless instructed to bring something into the classroom. Recess games are allowed but must be kept in backpacks until recess time.
    Keep an eye on the weather as the temperature changes on us through the seasons. It is important that students have proper attire in order to go outside. It may be a good idea to initial clothing like sweatshirts and jackets as they are easily lost when we are having way too much fun at gym and recess!
    
     
    Birthdays
    Burgess has implemented a healthy celebrations policy. We will continue to celebrate birthdays by rocking out to fun dance music but please do not send in any food items.
     
    If your child is interested in handing out birthday invitations in class, I ask that they give one to everyone in the class, all of the boys or all of the girls. Otherwise, invitations need to be dealt with outside of the classroom to avoid hurt feelings. Thanks!
