We had a great first day! Your child is coming home with paperwork to be filled out and returned as soon as is possible. Also, please try to send in supplies over the next few days if you have not already done so. We start jumping in to 4th grade curriculum bright and early tomorrow!
In fourth grade, track 1 is departmentalized. Your child has a homeroom teacher but will spend half the day with the other track 1 teacher. Mrs. Schmedding teaches math, science and social studies. Mrs. Burdette teaches reading, writing, and word work. We work as a team; we consider all of the students ours rather than having our own classes. Please think of your child as having two 4th grade teachers. Please communicate with both of us. If you need to email one of us for any reason, even just a simple dismissal change, please email both of us:
Mrs. Burdette: [email protected]
Mrs. Schmedding: [email protected]

If you have not done so already, please take a minute to fill out this Google form. We are creating a database of contact information. Please follow the link below. It should take you less than 5 minutes to fill out! Thank you!

Volunteers:
Co-room parent needed! Mrs. Schmedding has a volunteer for room parent, but Mrs. Burdette does not officially have one yet. We’d love to have at least 2 room parents to work together for all of track 1 fourth grade, rather than separate classrooms. We operate as 1 big group and plan activities together.
Important Information and Reminders:
Students are encouraged to bring a refillable water bottle to school each day. We do go outside for recess every day, weather permitting, and it is hot!
Students have homework every night. Their agendas must be signed each night by an adult; this is part of their daily homework. It is your child’s responsibility, not yours, to complete homework. Please help them to become independent and responsible learners by enforcing this procedure at home.
If you have not already purchased your child an agenda ($5) and Reader’s Notebook ($5), please come into the school to do so. They are available for pickup in the front office.
Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or concerns! Thank you for all of your support!
