Burleson Elementary Newsletter

Our school year has started off wonderful! The students are eager to learn and excited to be here!

We will continue to communicate digitally this year. Please make sure to check Class Dojo, the Meadow ISD app, and Facebook for information. We want to make sure that communication remains open to both the face-to-face and online learners' parents. We are still working on making processes easier and smoother, so in this transition period, please continue to show us grace and provide encouragement to the teachers.

Attendance is critical to student success and here are a few reminders:

1. The doors open at 7:30 am.
2. The first bell rings at 7:40 am.
3. The tardy bell rings at 7:45 am.
4. For many student's, instruction begins at 7:45 am due to our schedule changes this year, so please make sure they are on time every morning.
5. Virtual students must log into Google Classroom beginning Tuesday, August 25th to take attendance. Your child's teacher will send out information soon! Please be on the lookout for this information.
6. Our day ends with a snack for all students and the bell rings at 4:55 pm for dismissal. Thank you for your prompt pick up every afternoon!

In addition, per Texas Education Code (TEC), §25.092, students must attend 90% of the days a course is offered to be awarded credit for the course and/or to be promoted to the next grade. This requirement remains in force during the 2020-21 school year. This requirement applies to both face-to-face and remote/virtual instruction.

Students with more than four absences or six tardies may be assigned Monday Makeup School. Students assigned to Monday Makeup School will be required to complete four hours of work from 8:00 am -12:00 pm. The Makeup School will be scheduled each month.

The library is open and we are missing many books! Please help us fill our library back up by returning last year's library books! Your child will earn a prize for bringing their books back!

I have enjoyed having your child in my classroom. We have had a wonderful first week of school. Your child is adapting well to the school environment.

Snack list was sent out on Dojo and a copy in backpack. Thank you for your generosity.

Please don't forget to bring a water bottle. You may contact me on Dojo if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you

What a fun and enthusiastic group of Kindergartners we have! We are loving school!

Practice your sight words and writing your name at home. This will help us so much in class. Please return your child's purple folder every day and keep sight word baggies in their backpack.

Don't forget to bring a water bottle everyday! Contact me on Dojo if you have any questions.

Please make sure to look for Phonics homework and return it each day. Practice sight words for our test each Friday. Next week be on the look out for addition flash cards. All flash cards should be kept in the purple folder.

Second graders have been hard at work so far this year and have been happy to be back at school. We will be having a spelling test, a phonics test, and a math facts test each Friday. Please make sure that your child has studied for these each evening after school and is present for the assessments.

If you have any questions at all, please message me on ClassDojo.com or email me at amber.lambright@meadowisd.net. Thank you for sharing your children with me!

We are off to a great start this year!!! We are working on place value in math. We are starting our multiplication facts this week. Your child will come home with flash cards to practice every night. We will test on those cards each Friday.

In science we are learning about physical properties and how to describe them.

5th Graders has gotten off to a GREAT start! We have already completed our 1st writing of 3 paragraphs and according to them, they are very excited and a little nervous on what the year has to bring. We are staying confident!

Your students will bring home a spelling list to study, but we will not test on it this week, please keep it in their purple folders.

We will have MAP testing on Thursday 8/20 and the following Tuesday 8/25, so please be sure they are well rested and ready to go those days!

Thank you for all your support,
