Communication

September 3rd, 2013

Please do not hesitate to email or call if you have questions or concerns. My email is <hood@4j.lane.edu> and the school phone number is 541-790-8900.

Newsletter: I write a class newsletter as needed.  This is an easy and efficient way to keep you informed of our classroom activities and important upcoming dates and events. I use an email format, so please add your name and address to the list on curriculum night if you have not already received my welcome back newsletter electronically. I will gladly send paper copies to families who do not have easy access to email; just let me know!

Friday Folders: I will use the Friday folder as a communication tool between school and home. Please empty your child’s folder each week. You will find: homework, class and school information, field trip permission slips, completed class work, etc. Make sure your child brings the folder back by the following Thursday.

Parent/Teacher Meetings: School wide Parent-Teacher Conferences will be October 30, 31, and November 1, 2013. More information will be sent out by mid October.
