Expectations

I cannot stress enough the importance of communication between students, parents, and teachers. I want my students and parents to feel comfortable informing me about concerns related to academics, mental health, bullying, etc.

​

Please email me with any concerns, upcoming absences, questions, etc.

Homework/Due Dates

All homework should be recorded in your child's planner. We fill this out together as a class at the end of the day so they learn personal accountability. They will have reoccurring grades for the following:

  • Reading: 20-30 minutes 5/7 days of the week. They'll write how long they read in their planner and you'll initial each record as proof of their honesty.

  • Math: 15-20 minutes a night, or an average of 1 hour and 15 minutes a week, on iReady. I will check their minutes on Ready's teacher portal.

Grades - Skyward

  • Reading: grades will be given at the end of each month; your child’s grade is determined by how much time they spend reading.

  • iReady: grades will be given biweekly; your child’s grade is determined by how much time they spend on iReady.

  • Wonders and Vocabulary Weekly Tests: grades will be given every Friday.

**Missing work will be recorded in Skyward for you and your child to log in and view. You'll also be notified via email when an assignment is marked as missing**

Important Policies

  • They will have one day for every day they are absent to complete their work. We conduct most of our business first thing in the morning, so if your child is tardy, he/she will often miss important instructions.

  • Grading policies will comply with district guidelines. Our school uses the Standards-Based Report Cards. The grading will be on a scale of 1-4.

  • The school policy about electronics in class is that they are not allowed. Students may have them in their backpacks turned off, but should not be used during the day. If a student uses them at an unauthorized time, they will be confiscated.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Conferences are typically held the first week of October and the first week of February. You must have access to your Skyward login to sign up for a conference time with me. Any issues with Skyward need to be discussed with Belmont's front office.

Teacher Appreciation

Teacher Appreciation is always the week before Spring Break in April. This is one of my favorite times of the school year because it makes me feel valued and special. For a list of things I enjoy, please see the "About Me" page and scroll to the bottom.

Calendar

I email parents with information regarding calendar events. In addition, viewing your child's planner is a quick glance at homework, due dates, future assignments, and projects.

Birthdays in Class

Students may bring a treat to share with the class (this is optional). Treats must be store-bought and individually packaged. Please check with me for a considerate time as well as any food allergies before bringing in the treats.
