Parent-Teacher Communication

Remind App: I will be using the Remind App to text quick announcements or reminders as well as have conversations with you individually via text.  Texting through Remind will be the quickest way for you to get in touch with me to communicate with me.  Please click on the link for instructions on how to join our class on Remind:

Ms. Ambrose’s 5th Grade 2020-2021

I am happy to communicate with you in person  (when we are back on campus) or via phone or email before or after school when I am not engaged in teaching, other duties,  or meetings.  If I am not available to take your call, I will respond as soon as possible.  If I have already left for the day and the request for communication is non-urgent, I will respond by the afternoon of the following day.

Other Important Information (when we return to school)

Communication Folder

I’ve been using the Sunrise Wednesday folder as a daily folder in my classroom for the past 4 years.  I intend to continue this practice but will let you know if I end up using it as a Wednesday folder.  Please make sure your child keeps the folder in his or her binder so that it always comes back to school.  Any papers on the “Bring Home” side of the folder can stay at home. Papers on the “Return to School” side  need to be signed should be returned as soon as possible in the folder.

Before School

School begins at 8:15 AM.   Our entire school year will be spent in Room E-2. Students are to line up on the blacktop at our designated red dot #10  by 8:10 and be ready for the warning bell. Your child is tardy if he or she is not in line by the 8:15 tardy bell. To ensure your child’s safety, your child may not be dropped off at school prior to 8:05 unless he/she attends Champions Day Care or is having breakfast in the MP Room. There is no yard supervision prior to this time.

After School Dismissal

All students are dismissed from our classroom door. Those children who are not picked up at the door walk to the front gate and are to wait for a parent/guardian in the pick-up zone. Due to the heavy traffic,  walking or bike riding is highly encouraged to minimize before and after school traffic. Please communicate to your child your agreed upon plan for after school dismissal.

Lunch

All Sunrise students have been assigned a 4-digit lunch pin. If you send your child to school with lunch money please make sure it is in an envelope labeled with the child’s first/last name, pin, and teacher’s name. This is to ensure the funds are credited in the correct account.
