Cash or checks made payable to TriClassroom Rules and Goals • Treat everyone with respect. • Be kind to everyone. • Don’t talk when others are talking. • Keep your hands and feet to yourself. • Walk in the building. • Try your best every day. • Use your brain! • Have Fun! Star Photography are accepted. Yearbooks will be delivered in May. Progress Reports will be sent home next week. Please be sure to sign and return them to me by Friday, February 14. I am starting to request parent teacher conferences since I will not be here for the scheduled date. Please be checking your child’s agenda for a note from me. If you don’t hear from me, then I don't need to meet with you. If you would like to meet with me before I go on maternity leave, please let me know asap. Please be sure to practice the vocabulary flashcards your child made in and placed in the left pocket of his/her 3 ring binder. These words are getting tricky, and vocabulary scores are declining, so extra practice at home will do nothing but help! *Tip* Ask your child to give you the definition of the word AND use it correctly in a sentence. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Email is the Related Arts best way to get in touch with me throughout the day: (victoryr@rcschools.net).
