Things you will not need:
Experience has taught us that the following items usually create unnecessary distractions in the classroom, and are therefore not allowed:
Refill lead for mechanical pencils, gel pens, “click” pens, “decorated pens/ pencils”, small staplers, hand held pencil sharpeners, correction fluid, and key chains on book bags, felt tip markers, Sharpie pens, collectible cards, and toys of any kind. Large binders will not be needed since we will be using folders. Please keep these items at home!
We are looking forward to meeting each of you and getting to know you. We are expecting to have a great year of learning!
Our Open House will be on Tuesday, August 5 at 6:30. Because there is so much to cover in fifth grade, our Open House is not on the same night that the rest of track 4 which has their Open House on August 7.
