Please look through the papers your child will be bringing home tonight. Some are time sensitive and all should help shed some light on the year head. Below is the "nuts and bolts" letter that I have coming home tonight:
Dear Parents,
As we being a new school year, I would like to take this opportunity to pass along some information regarding the nuts and bolts of our 3rd grade schedule.
Wednesday, September 9, is Back to School Night. I look forward to seeing you all there. Until that time, I am hoping this letter will help keep you informed!
Last year I did not coordinate Scholastic Book Orders due to the economic strain many families faced (and may continue to face). With that in mind, I will periodically send home book orders for your perusal this school year. My hope is to select certain times during the year that don’t conflict with the school’s book fair. It is your choice whether or not you order from the book club. If you choose to order, please make sure you return the completed order form and a CHECK, payable to Scholastic Books. I can’t accept cash.
Our “specials” schedule is as follows:
Monday: Music
Tuesday: Media
Wednesday: Art
Friday: PE
Lunch this year is at 12:30.
I have maintained a class blog in previous years with mixed results. The creation of the class blog was to add an additional method of communication between home and school. When it’s regularly read, past parents and I have found it to be very effective. However, there are times when it seems it hasn’t been read which naturally leads me to question the need to put forth the extra effort. So, with that in mind, I will begin the school year blogging at the end of each Monday and Wednesday. I will try to elicit some feedback at conferences in November to determine whether or not anything needs to be modified. Please check it out at http://vogelsclass.blogspot.com/. By working together, we will ensure that each and every student achieves success this year!
Finally, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via e-mail at eric_m_vogel@mcpsmd.org or by phone at (301)253-7080.
I am looking forward to a spectacular year and seeing all of you on September 9 at 7:00 pm for Back to School Night.
