Hello 3A and 3B Parents!

Welcome to our new school year! We are so looking forward to spending our days “Embracing God’s Universe”with your children. This is just a brief note to explain a few items before we get together for classroom visitation.

Please check backpacks for Brown Envelopes and forms that need your attention.

Stationery money for 3rd graders is $12.75. It covers the cost of a Homework Booklet for $2.50, thin Sharpie Marker for $1.25 and 6 copybooks @1.50 each for the following subjects:

  • Math
  • Religion
  • Science/Social Studies (share one)
  • ILA(2) one for Creative Writing and one for Spelling/Grammar/Reading
  • One copybook is kept on reserve (usually for Math or ILA)

Please send stationery money cash (exact change is appreciated) ora check made out to SJA in a labeled envelope with child’s name as soon as you can. Supplies will be distributed next week.

“Homework” for the first week will be minimal to provide time to fill out forms and cover books. Textbooks and workbooks will come home one or two at a time for your review and to be covered. Workbooks and Religion books are soft covers and we ask if you could cover in clear contact paper, if possible.This will help minimize the wear and tear on these books. Textbooks are usually covered by a book sock or brown paper bag. There are 2 big textbooks: Math, Social Studies, and a smaller Journeys Anthology.

We would also request each child bringing in a small/inexpensive flashlight to leave in school for some reading fun on Fridays.

Attached is a “Tell Me About Your Child”form. Take a few minutes to fill it in. We believe this helps us to get to know your son/daughter and gives you a chance to share any concerns. Please return the form to school with your child or to our mailboxes.

Thank you for choosing and supporting SJA for your children. We look forward to seeing you at PTA night Thursday 9/14 and Classroom Visitation night on either Monday, September 18th or Thursday, September 21st. Please refer to our website if you need any confirmation of dates or times.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ann Bloss
