Dear Families,

 

This weekend I will finally be getting married!  My fiancé and I will be getting married in a small ceremony at our house surrounded by our family.  With our new baby and three children from his first marriage we will be an official family of SIX!!  Woohoo!  Starting next week my name will change from Ms. Blood to Mrs. Medalia.

 

As a reminder...Each child will come home with a folder every WEDNESDAY.  It will contain information from the school and homework on BLUE paper.  They MUST write their names on it, if they don’t it will end up in the garbage.  Homework should not be done in one night.  It will come home on a Wednesday in their folders and should be returned the NEXT Wednesday.  Many forms from the school will need to be filled out and returned.  Please look over all of these papers and return the FOLDER and any necessary papers on Thursday but KEEP the homework to turn in the following Wednesday.   

 

Last week we started using our “behavior chart”.  It has been going very well.  At first a lot of students were “changing their color” but now only two or three have to in one day.  Each day, every student starts on green (start each day anew!)  You can help by asking your child what COLOR they ended the day on.  They should know what they all mean.  Reinforce our school wide rules of making good choices, solving my problems, and showing respect.  

Thank you so much for all of your support! 

 

NOW INTRODUCING…Mrs. Medalia!!!! (aka Ms. BloodJ)
