Ms. Kaley's Classroom Room 24

Hello Parents!  Please read carefully below…

Welcome new students to room 24!  We are a classroom on the South side of the building (near the new Jr. High hallway that connects the elementary to the Jr. High.  We are located in the kiva area (kitchen area).

It’s almost the start of a new school year (already!).  I hope your child has been enjoying their summer break.  I miss them!  My student’s information isn’t ready yet in our school Aspire system, so I will post a few tidbits of information on here:

1.  I will be in and out this week of the classroom.  If you would like to drop off school supplies early (which I recommend), you will have a chance to do so.   I like to start getting all their binders organized with the things I have preprinted for the year and start getting things labeled and put away.  I will be in the building Tuesday and Wednesday for most of the day (not past 4pm).  Thursday I will be in towards the afternoon. If my door is open and I am not there I am more than likely in the printing room by the school’s office.  If I am not there, you may leave your child’s supplies by my door.  The teacher’s are also back beginning August 14th.  We will be off site on August 14th, but this is guaranteed time I will be in the building.  You are more than welcome to drop of supplies then too.  If I am not there, I am in a meeting.
2. Please make sure your child’s supplies are in a bag or box that have their name on the bag or box.  I don’t want to get anyone’s things mixed up!
3. I forgot a supply on the school list!  Please, if you can, purchase a zippered pencil case that can be put into a binder (in the rings).  Thanks!

School Events to Remember! (New Parents and Veteran Parents)

1. School Pool Party- August 16th at 6pm.  There will also be a ribbon cutting ceremony honoring the new Jr. High’s building being officially opened.  MMA families are invited to attend.  Please be there by 5:15pm.
2. Sneak a Peak (at the classroom) August 20th- this is also a great time to drop off supplies too if you can’t make it  the week of August 6th.  There will be half hour time slots to come by and say hi, drop off supplies, and ask questions.  Times begin at 1:30pm. and go until 3:30pm.
3. School begins August 21st (a TUESDAY) for students in first grade-Jr. High.  Tuesday-Friday are ALL early out days 8:30-1:00pm.  School doors open at 8:15am and the morning bell dings at 8:30am.  Please remember to provide a lunch for your child on these early outs 🙂
4. I will NOT be in town for Back to School Night.  I am in a wedding back in Maryland during this time.  Ms. Misha will be present, but I recommend coming to the Sneak a Peak opportunity on August 20th.  I might hold my own little Back to School Night by myself before I leave, but I will let you all know as we get closer.
5. Please sign up for snack for the year!  If each family is able to sign up twice then we will be covered for the year.  * I am currently working on getting the sign ups ready on Track it Forward.I have until February created.  More to come soon!

New Parents with new students to Ms. Kaley’s Classroom:

1. Welcome!  Please come to our school’s Sneak a Peak on August 20th.  This is a great time to ask me questions and see where your child’s classroom is!
2. The school’s Pool Party is at North Shore Aquatic Center (located right across from the school).  It begins at 6pm.  This is a welcome time to say hello and have fun with our school community.  Parents, please save any personal information chats about your child for a more private time.  For any new families coming to our classroom I would prefer that your child’s information remain private and not chat about him or her while others are openly there. If you would like to schedule a time to sit down and talk about your child’s needs please email me at my school email address.
3. My school supply list is located on this blog up at the top.
4. Snack is volunteered at our school.  Sign ups for our classroom are currently being worked on. I have until February created.  More to come.
5. We do all our school volunteering opportunities and sign ups (like for PTC) on a program called Track it Forward.  Please visit:  www.trackitforward.com and create a sign in for your family.  Give it about 24 hours and you will be entered into our system and you can then sign up for events in our classroom and other classrooms if you have other children at our school!
6. This is our classroom blog and I post weekly once the school year gets going.  Please subscribe to our classroom blog by clicking SUBSCRIBE to the right of my blog.  Check your email to confirm and then that should be it!  You will receive an email if any latest blog post I make.  Please know that as a parent of our classroom you are part of our classroom community.  It is the parent’s responsibility to read the blog posts I make during the year.  I post important information about what is going on, so to be in the know about things, please read them 🙂

If you have any questions before the pool party please email me!  See everyone soon!
