KNIGHT (Keeps News & Info about Grades and Homework) Folder
Your child will bring home a black folder every on Mon, Tues, and Thursday. Please check this folder for important school-wide information, classroom newsletters, homework and graded papers. It is your child’s responsibility to bring this folder home and return it to school the next day. Please use your child’s folder to send me notes, etc. I remind the students to check their folder when they arrive in the classroom. However, I do not empty folders as this is the student's responsibility each morning.
Homework
Students will have weekly homework in Reading, Phonics, Spelling and Math. Homework will come home in KNIGHT folders. A typical 1st grader should spend around 15-20 minutes completing homework. Students will also have occasional homework that relates to specific lessons in class. Homework is not intended as “busy work” but rather an extension and application of what is learned in class. Please return all homework by Friday.
Weekly Behavior Update
Every Thursday, a weekly behavior update will be sent home to keep you informed about your child’s behavior, responsibility, and work habits. Please initial that you have read it. It will updated each 9 week period.
Snack schedule is located under tab "snacks" on main home page.
Lunch 11:00- 11:30
Purchase all lunches through RenWeb on our school website, www.crossingsschool.org. Parents/family are welcome to eat with their child. We eat lunch in our classrooms!
Birthday Blessings
Parents are welcome to bring one simple “birthday treat” (donuts, cupcakes, cookies, etc.) to school to celebrate their child’s birthday or ½ birthday if in the summer. Please arrange this with me in advance, so I may plan accordingly. You may send the treats with your child, bring them to school in the morning, or come to snack time at 2:00. We will not have “parties” with goodie bags, etc as this takes away from instructional time. Please refrain from asking teachers to hand out invitations unless ALL STUDENTS are invited. Thanks for helping us in this delicate matter! We don’t want any hurt feelings.
