We will be visiting the DuSable Museum on Thursday, March 25th to participate in an activity that will simulate a trading post that the early settlers would have visited to exchange goods. The students will need to bring a lunch, but there will be no cost for the trip. We will need chaperones.

Welcome to another school year. I look forward to working with you and your child in the 4th & 5th grades. It is very important that you, the parent/guardian, keep up with the work your child is doing. If we work together, then we can ensure success.

To start the year, here are some important reminders about Rooms 202, 204, & 208:

Each child will be given a daily planner to keep track of their homework. There will be homework assignments everyday except Friday. They will, however, be expected to read independently during the weekends.

All students must be in uniform. However, on Fridays, students are permitted to wear regular clothes.

All students are expected to wear a gym uniform. The uniform may be purchased in the office.

If your child is absent from school, it is imperative that a note is sent to school explaining the absence.

School starts at 8:55 and students are dismissed at 2:45.

All students are required to pay a $50 student fee, which covers the usage of consumable workbooks.

The following supplies are needed by each student on a daily basis:

Sharpened pencils and pens

Hand soap and/or hand sanitizer

5 folders & 5 spiral notebooks in 5 different colors for each of their main subjects

(Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies)

Looseleaf paper

Colored pencils

Kleenex

Book bag

Paper towels

Thank you,

Ms. Coffee
