I am so excited to begin this journey through 3rd grade with you! Our explorations will channel us through our imaginations as we investigate, analyze, and create. What can our 3rd graders accomplish this year? The possibilities are endless!
In addition to being the 3A homeroom teacher, I will also be the Grade 3 Language Arts and Social Studies teacher. Mrs. Kotasthane will be the Grade 3 Math and Science teacher and 3B homeroom teacher.
Warmly, Mrs. Haynoski
Student Safety and Supplies
Our students’ safety is our number one priority, so please send your child prepared with his/her daily supplies as we will not be sharing personal items.
Please include the following items in your child’s backpack each day:
1) Personal hand sanitizer and pocket tissues
2) A refillable water bottle, lunch, a healthy snack, and eating utensils.
3) Lunch Orders: If you will be ordering lunch from Catering Solutions, please see the following page.
For our new families, when parents come to school on September 4th for New Parent Orientation, you may bring your child’s supplies in a bag labeled with their name.
For our returning students, you can bring your supplies on September 5th, the first day of school. Please make sure your supplies are labeled.
We will be getting lockers this year, but no locks are required.
