Welcome to Grade 3
I am very excited that I will be your
child’s teacher this year! It will be an exciting year full of new adventures
and new discoveries.
Although we will be using agendas this year,
general classroom information will also be available on our monthly calendar
and on my blog. The blog has a TRANSLATE
button that you can use to translate my entries into many different languages. I will also post the information in this
newsletter on the blog, too.
If you ever have any questions or would like
to meet, please contact me through your child’s agenda, or by phone or
email.
Thank you,
Mrs.
Jen Farley

SNACKS AND LUNCHES
Please send a nutritious
snack and lunch with your child every day.
We are very fortunate to
have a green bin program at our school and we encourage our students to bring
litterless snacks and lunches.
As a reminder, our school
is a nut-free environment.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND PERSONAL ITEMS
Although the school will provide most school supplies, many children
enjoy bringing their own materials to school, such as pencil crayons and
markers. I recommend that students label
these items in case they are misplaced.
Please remind your child to leave toys and valuable items at home so
they do not get broken or lost at school.
**BINDERS and DIVIDERS: I
would appreciate it if each student could bring one binder (1.5 “) and 5
dividers. They will be using these to
help organize some of their work.
PHYS. ED/DPA
Our class has Phys. Ed. on Days 1 and 5 and will be doing DPA (Daily Physical
Activity) on the other days. To
participate, students will need to wear indoor running shoes and comfortable
clothing.
Late
Arrivals and Absences
The entry bell rings at 9:00 a.m., which
gives students enough time to be in their classrooms and ready for our prompt
9:10 a.m. start. If a student is late,
he/she will need to get a late slip from the office, and may miss important
information for the day. Please call in
to the office if your child is going to late or absent.
Volunteers
Throughout the year, there will be
opportunities for parents/guardians/family members to volunteer in the
classroom and in the school for a variety of activities. If you are interested in volunteering, please
let me know. As a reminder, volunteers
in YRDSB schools are required to obtain a Vulnerable Sector Screening through York
Regional Police. The paperwork you would
need is available at the school. Please
let me know if you’d like a copy.
