Important Classroom Information
Weekly Newsletter
Each week a newsletter will be place in your child’s folder. The behavior calendar
will be on the back. This will give you an outline of what we will be learning that
week as well as any important announcements that you will need to be aware of.
Lunch/Snack
If your child is buying his/her lunch, please send money in an envelope or baggie
labeled with his/ her name. Please note what the money is being sent for (lunch,
field trip, etc.). Lunch account money can be added at any time to avoid daily hassle
with money. The cost for a full price lunch is $2.00. If you are applying for
free/reduced lunch, you are responsible for paying for each lunch until your
application is approved. Breakfast will be served free of charge to all students in
the cafeteria between 7:30-8:00. We will have snack in class each day! Please keep
up with the snack calendar and send snacks on your day!
Absences
If your child is absent, please call the office to notify them of the office. The
number is 817-202-2000. If you do not call the office, someone from the office
will call you. When your child returns from the absence, please send a note with
your child’s full name, date of absence, reason for absence, and your signature. A
doctor’s note will also be sufficient. Our district handbook states that more than
10 absences in a school year will be referred to the court system. Attendance is
very important to your child’s success at school!
Conferences
I will schedule a conference on an as needed basis. If you would like to request a
conference, you may send me a note, contact the office, or contact me via email.
All conferences MUST BE scheduled in advance. Also, we will be unable to accept
parent phone calls during class time. If you feel a phone conference is necessary,
the office will take a message, and we will call you when our schedule allows.
Report Cards
Your child will receive a report card every 6 weeks this year. We will continue to
send progress reports periodically. If you have any questions between grading
periods, please feel free to let me know! Report cards and progress reports will
need to be signed and returned.
Birthdays
Birthdays are special to everyone, and we will acknowledge birthdays in a special
way in our classroom. You may send cupcakes for your student and our class on your
child’s birthday. Birthday parties are NOT permitted in class, and birthday
invitations are NOT allowed to be passed out at school.
Daily Folders
Your child’s folder has a place to organize notes, money, homework, and things that
need to be returned to school. Please note that these are not folders that you
purchased. There will be a $2.00 fee to replace any lost folders. I firmly believe
this folder is a crucial link between parent and teacher communication. Please sign
and return DAILY.
Contact Info
It is imperative that the school be able to contact a parent, guardian, or next of
kin. If for any reason your address or phone number changes, the office needs to
be notified immediately. We must be able to contact you in case of an emergency.
Checks Made to Adams
We will be happy to accept your checks for various items that you will be
purchasing throughout the year (shirts, field trips, lunches, etc.), but due to the
high volume of returned checks in our district, we must have the following
information on your check:
Your full name
Date of Birth
Driver’s license number
A description of the items purchased in the memo field
**Please keep this in the folder for future reference!**
