Important+Information

The following is our class’ schedule of special area subjects. Please be sure to put this in a safe place, as you will need to refer to it through out the year. I have also enclosed a magnet that you may display on your refrigerator for easy access to help students be prepared for each special. Art – E Day Library – D Day Music – A & D Day Phys. Ed. – B, C, & F Days (remember to wear sneakers)  Report Cards are sent home four times per year. Each term, at the half-way mark, each child will also receive a mid-term progress report. The grading scale for Wicomico County is as follows:  A Excellent  90-100 B Good 80-89 C Fair 70-79 D Poor 60-69 E Failure 0-59  Your child will receive a letter grade for the subject areas of Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, Spelling and Language. They will also receive letter graders in specials. Students will receive Outstanding, Satisfactory, Needs Improvement, or Unsatisfactory in all other subject areas. Good work habits, social habits, and acceptable behavior standards are also evaluated on the report card. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">Daily, students will switch between 3 teachers. The following outlines the 3 grade four teachers and the subjects they teach. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">Miss Woods: Math <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">Mrs. Filippelli: Reading <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">Mr. Perdue: Science, Social Studies, and Language <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">In efforts to make switching between the classes a smooth transition we will be introducing and practicing procedures and routines the first weeks of school. It is important for students to follow the produces and they will be expected to follow them each day in efforts to create a safe learning environment. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">Students will receive homework every Monday through Thursday. **It is the expectation that your child will utilize an accordion folder to help teach organizational skills. (These can be purchased in the office for $3.60).** Students will also be required to record any homework each day in their agendas at the beginning of each class block. Students are responsible for completing their homework independently. Helping your child is fine but students should be completing on their own. If areas of homework are troublesome for your child contacting me will allow me to better understand their needs. Please never complete your child’s homework for them. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">Pinehurst will be utilizing school wide Tuesday Folders. These will be sent home Tuesdays. All graded work for the week before will be in the folder as well as any papers from the office. Please look over the material in the folders every Tuesday and __sign the signature sheet in the folder and return the next day__. Please keep all papers that are in the folder and return the empty folder each Wednesday. I believe that communication is the key to success for all students. Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss the progress of your child or any other concerns you may be having. My door is always open. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">The agenda may be used for the daily report of your son or daughter’s classroom behavior if I or you feel it necessary. Students will also record their homework for the night in their agendas each day. It will be part of their morning responsibilities. This is a great communication tool! If you ever need to send in a note this is a great place to put it. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">The agenda contains many useful items in the beginning sections. Here you will find school, playground, and cafeteria rules, the school code, and other important school policies. Please review it at home with your child as we will in class as well. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> //<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">Thank you for your time and if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call me. I look forward to having the opportunity to teach your child! // <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">  <span style="FONT-SIZE: 2pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 2pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 2pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Kabel Bk BT','sans-serif'">Miss Woods :)
