Welcome to Fantastic Fourth Grade!  

This year is going to be a great year!  It was wonderful meeting each of you at Open House.  Our "castle" is ready for the new beginning.

Our specials classes will be on different days this year.  We are using a "rolling schedule" for each class.  Our schedule is as follows:

1--PE; 2--Spanish; 3--Music; 4--PE; 5--Spanish; 6--Art

As you can see, we will be having PE on the first day of school.

Being in the castle, we are very aware of the weather. We didn't have many rain days last year. To be prepared for any rain days, a rain poncho is beneficial. Umbrellas are too awkward to carry with other items and may pose a safety hazard.

Just a reminder: Cafeteria prices have not changed this year: Breakfast is $1.00 and Lunch is $2.00. Jumbos are $3.50. If you did not receive a copy of the breakfast/lunch menu, please let me know. You may also access the menu from Columbia County's website.

Please continue saving boxtops and send them to the classroom. Our school greatly benefits from this promotion.


Just to let you know:

Safety is important: Your child needs to have a note to ride on a different bus. I will need to initial this note and then the note is to be given to the bus driver.

Students will be participating in Accelerated Reading once again as part of their language arts grade. Students take AR tests as one measure of their comprehension of reading material. We ask that no adult, other than the child's teacher/s, be present in the same room the test is being taken. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

If you are joining your child for lunch, please sit at the designated table for visitors with your child. Please do not sit at the tables with signs that reserve the table for classes. Due to our large size, seating is at a premium. If there is room at the class tables, you are welcome to join your child there. Thanks.

Also, just a reminder that fast food is not allowed in the cafe during school lunch hours.
