Back to School
Hope to see you at back to school night. Find out what we'll being doing this year, how you can support our learning, meet other families, and get your questions answered.
Name Homework
What:
Names are important words! Please talk with your child about how he or she was named. Help your child write down the story and illustrate it. You can send a photo back with the name story--we will return it.
Why:
Names are important. Knowing and using each others' names is respectful and helps build community. Sharing family stories is a great way to connect and treasure family history.

Daily Homework
What:
Before students leave school each day, they will write a letter to a family member.
At home, they will share their letter. Please write back! They must return the letter from you the next day. We will keep the letters in a notebook that goes back and forth.
Why: This helps us all communicate about learning and gives students real life reading and writing practice. It also makes a nice record of the year for families to keep at the end.
When: Every day, Monday through Friday.
