Volunteer opportunities: You will notice in your child's Monday folder a classroom volunteer sign up sheet. I forgot to offer this to one of the groups on the back to school night. If you have already signed up, you do not need to do this twice. If you would like to sign up, please check areas that you are interested in and return the form. Also, please remember that you must renew your volunteer status by October 31st.
Items needed: Please keep an eye out for great school supply sales. We do not have a "prize box", but we do have an in class school store for rewards. When the students return they will begin to keep their points in a "check book" register. About every three weeks we will have a school store where they can "buy" items with their earnings/points. Any fun school supplies are gladly accepted and appreciated to stock our store. Big items in the past are: sticky notes, smelly markers, colorful pens, fun erasers, fun pencils, inexpensive mechanical pencils, fun stickers, etc.
Informational Meeting: Please plan to attend the Read To Achieve (RTA) parent informational meeting on August 20th at 6:00 in the Media Center. This meeting will highlight the NC State RTA legislation and how it effects your 3rd grader.
Consent for Technology: You will find a very important Consent for Technology form in your child's Monday folder. Please read and return this. I must have your permission for your child to use any technology in the school. This is a new form from WCPSS and I must have it returned for each child.
