Fifth Grade Newsletter
Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year!
Welcome Parents and Guardians!
We are thrilled to begin this school year with such a wonderful group of students. It’s been a fantastic start as we’ve begun getting to know each child.
As a team, we are committed to creating a supportive environment where every student can thrive. We believe that strong partnerships between teachers and parents are key to student success, and we’re excited to work closely with you throughout the year.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children. We look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, and memorable moments!
Sincerely,
The Fifth Grade Teaching Team

Planners
Each student has received a planner that they will use to write down assignments each week. This planner is also a valuable communication tool between home and school.
You may find notes from teachers celebrating your child’s successes, as well as updates on behavior or areas where support may be needed. You may also write a note to us with important information or questions. We kindly ask that you check and sign your child’s planner each day to help us stay connected and ensure your child stays organized and on track.

Changes in Transportation
If there is a change in the way your child will be going home, please contact the front office directly. Our conference time is first thing in the morning, and we are unable to check email after that point in the day.
This ensures that all transportation changes are received and communicated accurately. Thank you for helping us keep your child safe!
