Welcome Back!!  Back from the lazy days of summer to a new and exciting school year! Sometimes the transition can be a challenging one. Here are some websites that offer activities parents and teachers can visit and utilize to make students’ first day back fun:

www.abcteach.com      www.teacherscorner.net           www.kidshealth.org      www.backtoschool.about.com            www.atozteacherstuff.com

        In addition, here are some tips from the National Association of Elementary School Principals that students can use to build great study habits for the new school year:

1.      Make a homework spot.

2.      Set a designated homework time.

3.      Use a homework notebook to write down each assignment.

4.      Make notes as you read.

5.      Make your own flash cards on index cards.

6.      Do your hardest or least favorite homework first.

7.      Write down your questions and on the next day of school as your teacher.

8.      Look up new words you don’t understand

9.      Test yourself as you read.

10.  Most importantly, get a goodnight sleep!

            Everyone at School #5 looks forward to the school year 2008-2009. First our Back to School Night is September 15, 2008. We encourage you to participate that evening and meet your child’s teacher.   In addition, our Home and School Association has a lot of exciting activities planned. Please join- the more the merrier! They will be available for questions on Back to School Night. You can view monthly events on the school calendar on this website. With your help we will work continuously to make our school not only a safe place for our children but create an environment that will be conducive to achieving academic excellence!

Have a safe, happy, and healthy school year!
