Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!

 

Welcome, everyone, to the 2023-2024 school year, and to MACC Division 5 Suncrest!

It is my ninth year teaching the MACC Program at Suncrest, and I look forward to welcoming 13 new students and their families to our school!

Our first week is a short one, but we will get started right away! On Tuesday, Sept. 5th please show up at 8:50 AM at the Portable Classroom 3 at the back of the school, so we can get to know one another and take attendance. We will finish at 10:00 AM, and then Ms. D is going right to a meeting with staff to set up for the year, so I won’t have time for discussions or meetings at that time, but I look forward to saying a quick hello!

For Wednesday Sept. 6th – Friday Sept. 8th, we will have full days. Show up at 8:50 AM. We will finish at 3:00 PM. Please bring a lunch, snack, and water bottle for the day. No juice or soda in lunches, and everything involving food is pack it in, pack it out. If you have an apple, for example, be prepared to put your apple core in a bag and compost at home. Thank you!

Please dress for the weather. No umbrellas, please, if it is raining, as we don’t have room in the classroom, sorry!

Supplies are due the next week, but for now, just bring a pencil bag, lunch, and your backpack.

Please have a change of shoes for inside the classroom.

Please mark your calendar for the afternoon-evening of September 14th, Thursday (time TBA), for our welcome/open house. This is not an opportunity for individual parent conferences, as that would be in a more confidential, one-on-one setting. The first part will be a social/get to know you for all families, and the second part will be an orientation for new parents of MACC only, so everyone can ask questions.

We will have parent conferences at the beginning of October, once I have had more time to get to know your child and to do assessments of where they are at in terms of math, writing, and other areas.

A packet of information about our class will go home on Tuesday, September 5th, along with some things for you to fill out for me as soon as possible. Please use your parent questionnaire sent home on the first day to tell me about any specific things I need to know right away and to make sure I have clear email addresses so you get my email and blog updates. Thank you!

I look forward to seeing all of you soon! Have a lovely weekend.

Ms. D
