Welcome!

Dear Parents,
 
            Welcome to the Primary Class. At this time, Connie LaMarche and Lori Swierczek will be working together in the P3 class. We are happy to team teach together and will guide, encourage, and challenge each child to progress to their fullest ability level. We are also happy to have LaMonte Brooks along with Marge Curry to oversee our students in the late afternoon program.
 
 
            Our school day begins at 9:00AM.  It is important that all students have arrived and settled into class by this time.  If your child should have an appointment and they will arrive after that time, please notify the office.  It is important to us that your child does not miss any of our morning activities, so we would appreciate if you could please make an extra effort to get them here on time.  If you should arrive after 9:30, you need to go to the office to sign in your child and an office person will bring them to class to not interrupt the morning activities already in progress.  Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
 
            To assist us in helping to make our program run a little smoother, please abide by the following requests:

• Please sign your child in and out of school each day.  Each room of the school has a clip board with sign in/sign out sheets on it, this is for your signature and time that you drop off and pick up your child. 
• Please send in a recent picture of your child for our VIP board.  We will put your child’s picture on this board for the school year.  Please send your picture in as soon as possible.
• Please send in a change of clothes for your child.  Please have them marked with your child’s name.  Be sure they are weather appropriate.
• All children should have a school bag.  Please have a label with his or her name on the outside of the bag.
• Please let us know the week before if you are planning to bring in a treat for you child’s birthday, such as cupcakes, munchkins or cookies.  No party favors, please. 
• Throughout the year we will request parents to contribute to our classroom parties. Thank you in advance for your participation.
• Only children who nap should send in one light blanket labeled with their name.
• Show and Tell will be the first Wednesday of the month.  This is the only day that your child will be permitted to bring toys to school.  Please wait for the Show and Tell slip to come home.  Sometimes we have to change the day.
• We encourage all the children to bring books to school.  We read to the children everyday.  Make sure they are marked with your child’s name on it. 
• Please label lunch boxes and include an ice pack, a napkin, and a utensil if needed.  No soda or glass is allowed.  Lunches cannot be heated.  If your child is here for a longer day you may want to include an extra snack or drink.  No candy please.
• Each month you will receive a tentative calendar.  This will let you know of the activities planned out for that month.  Also, you can visit the school website, www.tdrmont.net, and check out our Facebook page that has lots of updated activities and information.
• If you are helping your child write his or her name, please use capital for the first letter, lower case for the remainder. 

 
            We look forward to a great year with the class and thank you for the opportunity to share in your child’s growth and development.
                                                                                    Sincerely,
