Class Rules Parent Letter

                                                                                                         August 30, ‘11

Dear 1^st Grade Parents,

          Welcome to 1^st Grade!  I am really looking forward to our new school year.  At the beginning of a new year, it is very important for all students to understand the policies and procedures of our classroom.  I will be spending a lot of time explaining and emphasizing our class rules and the resulting consequences for not following our rules.  I will be discussing these in detail with you at Back to School Night (Open House).

          As part of your child’s homework tonight, I would like you to take some time to read over these rules together and discuss them.  Please sign this letter and return it tomorrow in your child’s Homework Folder.  When I receive this back tomorrow, I will know that you have taken the time to discuss our class rules with your child.

          Thank you very much.

                                                                             Mrs. Kondrack

First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of August 29, 2011

Dear Parents,

        A homework sheet like this one will be sent home the first day of every week.  Please check your child’s backpack and purple Homework Folder every day.  Please supervise your child’s homework and make sure it is complete and neat!

        Please have your child return only the homework that is due each day.  We have homework every Monday through Thursday night each week.  Our homework assignments are always posted on the school website under my blog.  There are usually one or two activities due each day.  Sometimes we have to change our schedule and homework will change accordingly.  That is why I would appreciate it if you send only the pages that are due each day.  If we have to modify our schedule, I will notify you (and your student will know, too!).

        Thank you very much.

                                                        Mrs. Kondrack
