If you have not already turned in your Beginning of the Year paper work, I sent home another copy today.  Please get it filled out ASAP.


The first field trip of the year has been set.  We will be going to Madison on Wednesday, October 3.  We will be able to take a few parent chaperones.  If you are interested in chaperoning, please make sure that you have a Volunteer Background Check complete.  If you did one last year, it is good for 3 years.  I just need to see your card as verification of that.  If you have not completed a Volunteer Background Check, please do so ASAP.  The background check is only done online.  Information came home in the Beginning of the Year envelope.  The background checks can take up to a month and I wouldn't want someone to miss the opportunity because their background check was not cleared by the field trip day.  More information with permission slips will be sent home at a later date.


Students are bringing home flashcards that I wrote about in the Welcome Letter.  Some students still need to finish cutting out the cards at home.  These cards can stay at home.  Please have your child practice these at least a few times a week.  Practice time fits in nicely on days that they don't receive a Home/Connections.  We talked about ways that students could practice so that they become fluent and accurate with their facts.
