*Spelling tests are every Friday unless noted otherwise. Spelling words need to be studied and practiced each night. Students should be transferring what they learn in spelling (concepts/rules) to their daily writing.
We have spelling lessons during school, but it is important they are practicing spelling and writing the words at home.
*On Mondays students will bring home word sheets and decodable readers we have practiced all week. It is a good idea to save these in a folder and have your child use them for additional practice.
*All absences and planned tardies need to be reported to the office secretary per the Family Handbook. It is the parent's responsibility to inform the office. Thank you!
*Students may dress down for their birthday on any day they choose
(except on Fridays due to Mass).
*Students need to wear Mass uniform on Fridays (no skorts or shorts).
*Students need appropriate outdoor gear daily. We go outside most days even if the playground is wet. Please make sure your child has the appropriate outdoor gear each day. The playground gets very muddy. We will not be calling home for a change of clothes if your child chooses to play on the wet grass/muddy areas and does not have the proper outdoor gear. Students can play on the sidewalk or wood chip areas if needed.
*Please read the dress code from the handbook. All students need to follow the dress code. Sweaters and fleeces need to have the Star logo. If they are out of uniform (including socks) they will be sent to the office in the morning.
