Important Information
Contact Info
My email address is [email protected]. This is the best way to reach me as I check it periodically throughout the day. If you need to reach me by telephone, please call (903)842-3071 voicemail number 2456 and leave a message, I will return your call as soon as possible. My conference time is 10:40-11:30. Please call or email me if you want a conference. If you show up unexpectedly, it is very likely that I will have another meeting or parent conference at that time. Another way to contact me, is through sending a message on Remind. Please let me know if you need help getting set up in our classes Remind!
Birthday Celebrations
If you would like, you may send prepackaged birthday treats with ingredients listed for your child’s birthday. This must be dropped off in the morning with your child during drop off time. We will celebrate birthdays at the end of the day. Please let me know a day in advance if you plan on sending a snack.
Cafeteria
Anyone listed on your student’s Skyward account may come eat lunch with your child only. Starting this year you will have to show your picture ID to enter the building.
Discipline/Behavior
We use the online classroom management called Class Dojo. Students will be able to earn points for good behavior like being a good listener, following directions, helping a friend, etc. They may also get points taken away for poor behavior like interrupting, not following directions, teasing, etc. We will contact you through note or phone call if a behavior does not stop or becomes a bigger issue. There are some instances such as fighting that will result in your child going straight to the office.
Ride Changes
We want to do everything we can to ensure your child’s safety. If your child will be leaving campus differently than his/her normal routine, please call Tammy in the office by 2:00. We cannot take your child’s word for it. Unless we have a written request or a phone call, your child will leave campus in their usual manner.
Graded papers
Your child’s papers will be coming home periodically throughout the week. If the paper does not have a grade on it, it was done as a class or not recorded as a grade. If your child has received below a 70 on a daily grade, your child will have the opportunity to redo this paper. If your child is able to correct an assignment it will either be sent home with a note at the top to be completed at home or it will be completed with the teacher. If a new grade is taken, the new grade will not be over a 70.
Schedule
Specials: 10:40-11:30

Please check the calendar for what days to wear tennis shoes. The students go to PE every other Friday. We encourage you to make your child’s doctor or dentist appointments in the later afternoon. We learn so much during the day. We understand that sometimes you do not have much choice in the scheduling, but just wanted to make you aware.
Snacks
We allow students to bring a healthy snack to eat in the afternoon. Here are some examples of healthy options: fruit, fruit snacks, Veggie Straws, Goldfish, crackers, pretzels, applesauce/yogurt pouches, granola bars, graham crackers, etc… Your child will be responsible for keeping up with their snack. Please make sure your child has a water bottle everyday.
