WELCOME
We wanted to welcome all of you to the fifth grade! It is good to see some of the same families again, and it is equally nice to work with new families. During the year, we hope you are able to use this website as a reference to help make the year successful for your student. The site will include information for the entire 5th grade in general, as well as information specific and unique to each of the classrooms. We are pretty consistent in our assignments and disciplines. Again, WELCOME!
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is critical to your child's success in school and life. We genuinely want to help your children become successful, responsible adults. However, we cannot help them to grow academically or socially if they are not present at school. The negative consequences of time missed at school have been well studied and are truly disturbing. Data detailing the projected success rates and failure rates of students may be found at the following website: www.thechildrensinitiative.org . On a much more practical note, the school loses $40 a day for each student absent. That is A LOT OF MONEY! If your child is sick, please keep them home until they are well. If your child has a fever, please keep them home for at least 24 hours after the fever has gone. If your child is healthy, please bring them to school so we can help them develop successful life skills.
