Important Reminders:
-Please Remember to bring a snack and water bottle daily for your scholar.
- It does tend to get a bit chilly in the classrooms and your scholar might want a sweater so just in case you may pack a Great Hearts Western Hills sweater or cardigan in their backpack to have.
- For Spalding Homework please have your scholar write the words or phonograms 2 times and in 2 Collums
- Every Tuesday we will send home the scholar's yellow folder please sign and return anything that needs to be returned and remove the rest to keep at home
-Please discuss with your scholars to not talk during instruction time and to respect their teachers time of teaching.
- Your scholar needs to bring an independent reading book to school every day to use during dismissal. This is especially important if your scholar is picked up at Upper School because the expectation in the MPR is that scholars read silently.
- Starting this week, we will be sending home book bags and checking the scholar's comprehension and understanding of their book so please go over it with them every night.
