Mrs. Polteno will be gone for a few days in October!!

Parents,

Just to make you aware, I will not be at school teaching your wonderful children on the 7th, 8th, 11th, 12th, and 13th of October.  I just found out that I must get my tonsils out.  I am nervous about this!!!  In previous school years I would miss up to two weeks of school throughout the year for the same illness, tonsilitis.  My doctor yesterday told me enough was enough and that I needed to get them taken out.  It will be a tough time for me not being with your children.  I enjoy showing up to work and being with them daily.  I promise that it will be better in the long run. 

I have hand picked the substitute.  My dear friend Mrs. Bagby who taught 3rd grade at Lincoln over the last three years will be the substitute.  Your children will be in great hands and I am extremely confident that their learning will continue just as if I were there. 

If you have any questions about this, please let me know.

Scholastic book orders

Parents:

Oh goodness.  I just noticed that the Scholastic website just barely changed their login and order procedures for their book orders.  You need to go to the website
http://teacher.scholastic.com/clubs/parent_landing.htm
and enter the class code number which is GV4WX.  I expect the order to be received between the 27th of September and the 1st of October!!!  Go to the website and then click register/sign in on the left side of the page.  I extended the due date for the bookorders to Monday the 20th of September.  Use the code number I included.  Also, you can use this page the rest of the school year to buy books.  This is a good way to buy books for your student.  The books are cheaper than if you go to a bookstore!!!!

Fundraiser packets!!!

Parents,

Please make sure that you return the fundraiser packets.  If you do not return them you will have to pay $20.00 for each booklet not returned.  That ends up being $100.00.  Please take directly to the office. 

Los padres,

Aségurese por favor de que regresa los paquetes de recogedor de fondos. Si usted no los regresa usted tendrá que pagar $20,00 para cada folleto no regresaron. Eso acaba por ser $100,00. Tome por favor directamente a la oficina.

Than you,

Mrs. Polteno
