Death in family

Medical, dental, or other appointment with a health care provider for the student (it has to be the student's appointment, not the parent's);

Daily Snacks:

We have snacktime every morning. Please pack your child a healthy, "non-sugary" snack. We have a late lunch (1:15).

One way to manage your child's lunch account is to directly deposit funds into his/her account throughwww.mylunchmoney.com.

It's easy to set up the account. You will need your child's student ID number. If you don't know it, you can e-mail me at amitchell3@wcpss.net to get it.

Through www.mylunchmoney.com, you can choose to allow your child to purchase a la' carte items or to only buy meals. You are also able to set daily/weekly spending limits.

The FIRST day of school!

Welcome! We had a great first day today! I will be blogging weekly to keep you posted on upcoming events as well as what is happening in our classroom. Today we  went over rules and procedures and did some team building activities to get to know each other.  We will be focusing on these for most of the week to get our class off to a strong start.
We will start homework next week.
