Dear 4A Homeroom Parents, I am so excited to begin this journey through 4th grade with you! The 2026-2027 school year is an exciting time for us all. Our explorations will channel us through our imaginations as we investigate, analyze, and create. What can 4th graders accomplish this year? The possibilities are endless! In addition to being your child’s homeroom teacher, I am also the Grade 4 Language Arts/ Social Studies teacher, and Mrs. Smith-Vicari is the Grade 4 Math/Science teacher. Warmly, Mrs. Yurman

Student Safety and Supplies It is important for students to approach each day feeling comfortable and safe. To help them achieve this goal, please guide your child to secure in his/her backpack the following items: 1) All school supplies as requested on the supply list you received. 2) Daily Planner which will be given out on the 1st day of classes. 3) Since we use lockers, please remember to send your child with a locker shelf to help organize books and supplies. 4) Locks are optional. If your child will be using a combination lock, please have your child practice opening & closing at home. The following items should be included in each student's backpack every day. 1) A refillable water bottle, lunch, a healthy snack, & eating utensils. 2) Aftercare students should bring a p.m. snack, separately packed & labeled PM Snack. 3) Personal school supplies for the day (i.e., pens & pencils in a pencil pouch, books, folders, planner, and homework.) 4) For our new families, when you come to New Parent Orientation on September 8th, you may bring your child's supplies in a bag labeled with their name. 5) For our returning families, you can bring your supplies on September 9th, the first day of school.
