Dear Third Grade families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to enjoy some much needed relaxation last week. I wanted to keep you all updated on a few things happening here on campus over the next few weeks as well as updates on supplies in the classroom. More information will be coming out for other things we will be doing in our classroom in the coming days and weeks. 'Tis the season! As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
Cold/Flu Season:
First and foremost, cold and flu season is upon us. Please see the "Ill Student" policy as written in our handbook below:
"A student with a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher should not attend school. Please do not send your child to school unless he/she has been without a fever without medication for 24 hours. Students must be kept home if vomiting or diarrhea has occurred during the night or in the morning before school. Students with any rash, open sores, or draining eyes must be evaluated by their physician before returning to school. Many of these illnesses may be viral or bacterial infections or flu requiring medical treatment."
We do our very best each day to keep all kids clean and healthy in the classroom by using hand sanitizer, expressing the need to consistently wash hands with soap, running our air purifier and cleaning our desks with a Clorox wipe before we leave each day. Sick days are no fun for anyone and we need your help making sure our classroom stays germ free for not only your child but also the other students in our classroom as well as the teachers. I understand that many of you want to make sure your child doesn't fall behind and want to send them anyways. Please know that while I appreciate it, I am more worried that they are getting the rest they need and feeling better. We will catch them up once they return. Thank you in advance for you help!
6th Grade Marketplace:
Each year, our 6th graders partner with Catholic Charities to hold their Advent Marketplace. This project is incredibly important to all the organizations (listed on the website) that it serves and to our students in support of their growth as Christian leaders in service to others. This Friday, December 3rd is the date for this year's Advent Marketplace.
Please encourage your child(ren) to view all items in advance of Friday, December 3rd. Parents can send money and a list with their student(s) and we will help them locate items they would like to purchase. All items are based on availability. Prices for items are listed on each student's website and nothing is over $10. All items can be viewed here. The pages to see the items is located in the top right hand corner once you click on the link. Please note that our time to shop is from 9:15 - 10:00. Students are responsible for carrying their own money.
Feast of Saint Nicholas:
We will be celebrating the Feast of Saint Nicholas on Monday, December 6th here at school. Don't forget to leave out your shoes at home as well!
Classroom/Student Supplies:
As we near the end of the first part of our year, we are doing well considering how many Clorox wipes and hand sanitizers we use daily. However, we are beginning to run very low on paper towels. I'm sure you are all teaching your kiddos to only take what they need just like we are trying to do here when it comes to paper towels. If you are out and about and would like to pick up a couple of extra rolls for us, I would greatly appreciate it.
For those families with last names starting with N-Z please bring in by the first week of January or sooner:
Thank you all so much for being supportive of all we have going on here in the classroom. It truly means more than you know.
Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Merry Christmas!
Mrs. Lord
