FRIDAY FOLDERS
Each week we will be sending home information in a designated Friday Folder. The Friday Folder is our system for sending home completed work, community announcements, and homework. Each week we request that you EMPTY AND RETURN THE FRIDAY FOLDER TO YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER BY the following THURSDAY.
FIRST GRADE NEWSLETTER
Each week a first-grade newsletter will come home in your child's Friday folder.
SCHOOL-WIDE NEWS
The Homesteader is the school’s newsletter that will be emailed every other week. It includes lots of information about school-wide activities, important dates, and other school news. We encourage you to utilize the Homestead website for checking school calendars, lunch menus, PTCO news, grade-level information, school closures and/or delays, and parent/child learning resources. You can access the website at: http://homestead.cherrycreekschools.org
Online Sign-Ups
Another way we will be communicating with you is by using online sign-ups, such as Volunteer Spot and SignUp Genius. We will be using these web-based applications to post volunteer schedules, ask for donations, request volunteers for special projects, and for posting conference schedules. Your child's teacher will be providing you with more information about volunteering.
PROGRESS REPORTS AND CONFERENCES
Formal communication concerning your child’s progress will be through Progress Reports (three times) and Parent/Teacher conferences (two times). Progress reports are sent out at the end of each trimester. Conferences take place at the end of the fall and the spring trimesters. The dates and times will be posted in the First Grade Newsletter. You will sign up for a conference time using an online sign-up provided by your child's classroom teacher. You are always welcome to request informal meetings as needed.
KEEPING US INFORMED OF CHANGES
Our goal is to help your child be safe and feel secure each day. We appreciate knowing when your child will not attend school. This would include vacations, illnesses and/or other family emergencies. If we know about these, we will be able to offer your child support and assistance. When it is necessary to change your child’s regular routine (absences, doctor’s appointments, going home with a friend) please send in a written note to let us know. It will help us get your child ready for pick up and keep them feeling secure.
