Parent Information

Welcome back to school!  I trust you had a good summer with some time to relax.  I look forward to getting to know all of you as we work together to make this a great year.  For some of you it is a familiar face and I am excited to get to work with you again. 

General School and Classroom Behaviour

Each student is expected to:

-         treat others with respect.

-         be responsible for his/her actions in the classroom and on the playground.

-         try their very best in everything they do!

-         come to school on time, prepared, and ready to learn.

Agendas

Please send to school $4.50 for the agendas.  Agendas are an important means of communication between school and home.  Any notes, money, messages, or permission slips can be sent in the front pocket.  Please check and sign the agenda every day to ensure our communication is up to date.

Homework

        In the classroom, we use RAZ-KIDZ.  I also strongly encourage the students to try and go on it at home.

Students are given ample time in class to complete their daily work.  If they are unable to complete their work in class, they may be asked to stay in at recess to finish it, or take it to finish at home.

Class Dojo

        Class Dojo is a behavioural system that I have in place in my classroom.  Students can receive points for their behaviour in class, helping others and working hard.  They can also receive bonus points for going on RAZ KIDS at home and getting their agenda signed.  Students can access this program online at home and parents can also have their own log in to check in on their child’s progress. 

Communication

    I have an APP to send reminders for different forms, trips, and school days.  If you would like to subscribe to our classroom you can send a text you (438)793-3109 with the message @bfd3d0.  If you would like to subscribe via email you can send an email to bfd3d0@mail.remind.101.com.  You can also keep up to date with things that are happening in our classroom on our blog: http://www.msjohnson23.blogspot.com

Parent Helpers

        If you would like to join the class on a fieldtrip or help out in the classroom, Regina Public Schools requires you to have a criminal record check completed.  You can pick up a criminal record check form in the school office.  There is no cost to you when the check is done for volunteering purposes.  Thank you in advance for offering to help out!

Parental Involvement

        How can you help your child reach their potential?

-         Help your child use the agenda on a daily basis.

-         Help your child read 15-20 minutes each day.

-         Encourage a positive attitude toward school and classmates.

                              

Your child is important to me, so if you have any questions during the year, please feel free to contact me through the agenda, by phone at 791-8623 or by email at holly.johnson@rbe.sk.ca .  I would also like to know the best way for me and others parents from the class to get a hold of you.  Please let me know your preferred method of contact (phone, cell, email).  I look forward to working together with you as we figure out how to best help your child grow and learn.

Sincerely,
        Holly Johnson
