CURRICULUM NIGHT

What will my child be learning about this year? What type of homework can I expect and how can we support our children as learners? These are some of the questions that will be answered at curriculum night. Parents and guardians (not students) are invited to attend this event. Important topics of curriculum and expectations for each grade level will be addressed. Teachers will speak about the programs and materials used in each content area as well as the timeline for skills and topics that are covered during the school year.

In order to accommodate our families’ schedules and support parents in visiting multiple classrooms, we have modified the schedule. Classroom teachers will be presenting the same information during two different sessions. Therefore, parents only need to attend one of the sessions.

The schedule for the evening is as follows:

· 5:15-5:45 pm Grade 1, 2 & 3 Session 1

· 6:00-6:30pm Grade 1, 2 & 3 Session 2 (same information as session 1)

• Specialist Teachers will be in the Cafe

Please consider being part of the continuous effort to improve our school. Community input is needed in determining the direction of education for our young people. We are in need of parent volunteers for our RLM School Council this year. If you have a child at the school and would like to serve as a representative on the council, please contact us. Meetings generally last an hour or less and take place after school. It is a good way to be involved in the improvement of our school.

FAQ's about the RLM Cafe

• Breakfast and Lunch are free to all students
• Ala Carte items are an additional choice. Students must have money on their My School Bucks Lunch account to pay.
• Currently, the only Ala Carte item at RLM is milk, at a cost of $0.60.
• Lunch cards are organized by classroom and hung in pocket carts around the cafe. If students can't locate their card, they simply should get into line and their name will be entered manually.
• Snack/Breakfast is offered daily. Options during this time are pastry, yogurt, cereal, graham crackers or cheese crackers. Students also take a fruit/juice and milk is available.
• Lunch: students order their lunch in the morning with their teacher. In the cafe, as they come through the line, they choose their fruit and vegetables. We typically have at least one fresh fruit and a canned fruit plus 1-2 vegetables. Each student needs to take at least 1 of those items. Milk and cups of water are always available.

• If you have additional questions, please reach out to AnnMarie Grinder, Food Service Director at agrinder@wbridgewater.com
