Dear Parents and Guardians,
Hello and welcome to fourth grade at Ambrit! My name is Maria
Casson and I have the pleasure of teaching your child this year.
I am looking forward to an exciting and productive year. Below
I have outlined some important information and details regarding
some fourth grade routines.
(It is advisable to mark all of your child's belongings)
1. A backpack (without wheels)
2. An old, large t-shirt/smock (to cover clothing for
art)
3. A lunch box (to contain snack or lunch if not in
lunch program.)
4. A box of tissues
For schoolwork your child will need:
1. A pencil case containing regular and coloured pencils,
erasers, a sharpener and some markers.
2. 2 A4 size binders, (they should be made of durable
material and secured with an elastic or similar).
One will remain in your child's backpack to contain school
notices, homework and reading book and the other will remain
in the classroom and store your child's work.
3. A diary (in which your child will write their homework.)
A small, light one is advisable.
4. 10 plastic page protectors.
5. An A4 size clip board.
6. A 30cm ruler
* Please ensure that your child's pencil case is always in
order and equipped at all times.
Food:
1. Children should bring in a healthy snack for mid-morning.
Fruit, yogurt, juice, etc. No candy or sweets please.
2. If your child brings their own lunch, please make sure
that they have all the necessary cutlery. Please do not give
your child soda to drink at school.
Sickness:
Please do not send medicines of any kind to school with your
child. If your child is not fit enough to play outside, please
keep him/her at home, as he/she cannot be supervised in the classroom
during playtime. If your child has any specific medical conditions
and needs regular medication, please advise myself and the school
nurse.
Contact:
The easiest way to contact me is by sending a note with your
child or by e-mailing me at maria.casson@ambrit-rome.com. You
may also leave a message with the secretary at: 06/55 95 305
or 06/55 95 301.
Homework:
Please check your child's binder DAILY for school notices
and homework. We ask that you provide a quiet, comfortable place
for your child to study and assist them in establishing a regular
homework routine. I will give you more detailed information about
your child's homework routines during the upcoming class meeting.
Homework is not given on Thursdays.
Bus:
If you have planned a change in your child's bus schedule, please
send in a note or contact our bus coordinator directly. All
changes need to be made by 12:00.
Birthdays:
If your child would like to celebrate his/her birthday with a
special treat in class, please schedule the day with me. It is
best to send individual pre-cut treats. Please also send the
appropriate supplies.
Attire:
Your child should wear comfortable clothing to school. The PE
department has requested that students wear appropriate clothing
for gym (e.g. shorts and t-shirt or track suit) and tennis or
gym shoes. (PE is on Tuesday and Friday)
I am very excited about the upcoming year and look forward
to seeing you soon. There will be a class meeting on Monday,
24th September at 4:00 pm. In this meeting I will be giving you
more specific information regarding 4th grade.
Kind regards,
Ms. Maria Casson |
