A Brand New School Year

8/30/10

Dear Parents,
I wanted to write to let you know how much I am enjoying getting to know your children. We have been working on class procedures in order to have a classroom that runs smoothly and everyone knows my expectations. We have also discussed my class rules and consequences/rewards. I plan to explain these to parents on Tuesday, September 7 during our school Open House from 6:00-7:30 pm.
I will also be starting a blog that serves as a communication tool between school and home. My address is http://moralesc.blogspot.com. I hope you and your child will check it out. It is also helpful to share email addresses. If you have one that I can use to communicate with you will you please write to me at moralesc@billingsschools.org in order for me to include you in my email address book. Feel free to call me at school if have questions or concerns. That number is 281-6205. I believe communication can be very helpful in your child’s success at school.
The following are important dates:
Monday, September 6: Labor Day—no school
Tuesday, September 7: Open House from 6-7:30 pm
Friday, September 10: PTA Back to Football Night/Movie Night
(more info. to come)
Monday, September 20: Rachel’s Challenge Assembly (more info. to come)
Tuesday, September 21: PTA meeting in the library at 7:00 pm
Thursday, September 23: PIR day/Early out for students at noon
Saturday, September 25: Saturday Live at Pioneer Park (more info. to come)

Just a reminder, if you haven’t turned in your letter about your child to me, please do so by Friday, September 3.

Thank you,
Chris Morales
