Dear Parent/Guardian,

 

I am looking forward to providing an interesting and successful learning experience for your child.  I enjoy teaching children and helping them develop a love for learning.

 

I would like to begin by saying a word about my emphasis on academics.  This year I will be teaching Reading, Language Arts, and Social Studies.  I will expect the very best effort from your child.  If you will support and cooperate with me, we can insure that your child will have a successful learning experience in the fourth grade.

 

 I place a great deal of importance on helping young people learn to respect themselves and to treat others with respect and kindness.  I will not permit other children to spoil your child's chance to learn.  Nor will I permit your child to interfere with the learning of others.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at school and leave a voice mail message.  The number is 293-9452, ext. 250.  I will return your call as soon as possible.  You may also contact me through my school e-mail account listed below.  However, due to the fact that our e-mail is not always reliable, if you  do not hear
from me in a timely manner, please send in a written note.  In addition, I encourage you to check my website frequently.  I will post important information, including upcoming tests, quizzes, and projects.  Finally, I am always willing to schedule a personal conference to meet with concerned parents.
Daily homework will be posted on my homework hotline after 6:00 p.m.  Call 293-9452, ext. 350.

 

I am looking forward to a great year with your child.  If I encounter any difficulty and need your help, I  will not hesitate to contact you.  I will also be very pleased to share with you when things are going especially well.

 

Sincerely,

 

                                                        Mrs. Julie Darr

Discipline Policy

As I already stated, I place a great deal of emphasis on academics.  In order to maintain a positive learning environment, students will be expected to follow these Steps to Success.

           

            1.  Respect yourself, others, and property.

            2.  Listen carefully.  Follow directions the first time given.

            3.  Raise your hand to ask a question and wait to be called upon.

            4.  Stay in your seat unless you have permission to get up

            5.  Walk in line quietly in the hallway.

            6.  Keep your hands, feet, and objects to your self.

            7.  Come prepared for class:

                        In uniform

                        On time

                        With needed supplies
8.  Remain quiet and respectful during announcements and prayer.
       

 

Please review this plan carefully with your child.  Students having difficulty following these steps will be given guidance on how to improve their behavior.  Please refer to the packet you received for details about this poclicy. 

 

Homework Policy

 

Students are responsible for their own work.  All homework assignments must be turned in by the student at the beginning of class, or the assignment will be considered late.  Late assignments will have a reduction in points.  Students with late assignments will be notified by the teacher and given an orange Missing Homework Report.  Please refer to the 4th grade packet for details about this policy.
