Dear Students &amp; Parents,

Welcome back to a new school year.  At the end of the extended school year program, I provided you with a packet to complete to assist you with your learning.  If you did not receive this packet, please come to the school to pick up your work.  Please understand that each packet is designed just for each of you.  For the next school year, we will have another multi-level classroom, which means that the work you receive will not be the same as the work of your classmates.  Your work packet is due on the first day of school and will be your first grade of the quarter.  <strong>I do not accept LATE or MESSY work.</strong> If you are absent, your work is expected on your first day back.

Attached to this letter are the school supplies you will need to start learning on the first day of school.  You will also need to bring $5 to purchase your boomerang &amp; writing processes folders.  Boomerang folders are the only folders that will go home at the end of each day.  In these folders you will receive notes from me or the school as well as student’s homework and graded classwork.  The writing process folder will remain at school but will be used to assist students in their writing processes in the classroom.  At any point in time, you may come to the classroom to see their writing folders to check their progress.

For your records, you will also get a listing of classroom rules and expectations.  Please discuss these with your student for the remainder of the summer.  It will make for a smooth start to the school year.

Sincerely yours,

Ms. Tiffany Walker
Primary Multi-Level Classroom
