Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! We are so glad to have your child, and you, as a part of our G5 family this year! Fifth grade is a year of great change, hard work and fun! We hope you enjoy the ride!
Just a few things as we wrap up Week 1:
1. Forms! I know the beginning of the year paperwork is oftentimes overwhelming. Tomorrow your child will come home with his/ her regular BSD folder full of district forms, emergency release forms etc. These can be turned into me or the front office. In addition to this packet, your child came home with an Edmodo (educational communication tool used throughout the district) permission form as well as a Patrol sign-up sheet. We thank you in advance for getting all of these filled out in a timely manner.
2. Curriculum Night is on Wednesday, September 17th! We hope you are planning on joining us! Fifth grade is a BIG YEAR and we have a lot of information to share. Mrs. Stover and I will do a joint event in her classroom (Room 204), since we are a teaching team and since the curriculum information is the same for all 5th graders. In addition to learning about this school year and student expectations, there will also be sign-ups for field trips and classroom parties.
3. Classroom Websites. If you haven’t checked them out yet, we urge you to become familiar with them, as you (and your child) will need to access them regularly. I would suggest “Following” my classroom blog so that you are notified every time there is a new post made.

4. End of Week One! A successful week; it has been wonderful getting to know all of our new kiddos! We hope they have enjoyed this week as much as we have. Change and adjustment to two new classrooms and two new teaching styles can be difficult, so it may take another few days for your child to feel like he/she is in a rhythm. Definitely a social group of kiddos, so we will be continuing to consistently reinforce 5th grade level expectations as we begin next week.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Regala & Stover
