Dear Parents,
Welcome to grade three/four at North Haven! We hope you have had a restful and enjoyable summer vacation. We are so excited about this year and are looking forward to getting to know all of you. The bells ring at 8:00am and 2:40pm (new afternoon dismissal time). In the morning, please arrive any time after 7:45am. Class lists will be posted on the doors for the first day. The teachers will be outside to greet the students. All grade 3/4s will be entering through the doors by the gym (previously grade 5/6 doors). This year your student will be in my class which is located in room 11. Here are a couple routines to familiarize yourself with... Agenda Folders: Please refer to your child’s clear agenda folder for important communication. Agenda folders will be checked daily at school and should be checked at home for assignments and notices each night. The agenda folders are the most effective method for corresponding with your child’s teachers. Please reinforce with your child that it is their responsibility to ensure that their folder arrives at school each morning and is brought home each afternoon. Indoor Shoes: Please ensure that your child has indoor shoes that are suitable for the gym. Running shoes are ideal. Flip-flops or big boots are not acceptable for gym class for safety reasons. The indoor shoes are to be left at school overnight. Water Bottles: We encourage all students to bring their own water bottle into the classroom each day. We would appreciate it if you could label the water bottle with your child’s name. Water bottles should be small in size and spill-proof for the protection of their belongings in their backpacks and their work on their desks. We will attempt to have their water bottles sent home every Friday so that they can be cleaned. Home Reading: Home reading is encouraged on a nightly basis of approximately 20-30 minutes. Reading aloud to someone aids in the development of oral reading fluency. Volunteering: We welcome and value our parent volunteers. If you are able to volunteer, we would greatly appreciate it. Please contact your classroom teacher if you are available weekly or for field trips. Police clearance forms can be collected through the office. School Entry: Parents bringing their child to school are asked to say their goodbyes outside the designated doors. If for any reason, parents need to access the building, please sign in at the front office as per procedures. We encourage all grade 3/4 students to enter the school independently. We look forward to meeting you at the upcoming Welcome Back BBQ/Curriculum Night on Thursday Sept 12th 4:00pm-7:00pm. Please feel free to contact me if you have any question via email or by phone through the office.
