We are now half way through our school year! In some ways it is hard to believe! As the students have become more comfortable with each other they have begun to "joke" or "mess around" with each other. We want the students to enjoy their time at Zinser. However, some of this comfortableness has resulted in some students saying hurtful things to others both in the 5th grade and in other grades as well. Please discuss with your child the utmost important golden rule- treat others the way you want to be treated. This also applies to how they treat school material. We have had several issues with students writing in and defacing school books and materials. These items are costly to replace and we would hate to have a family have to replace them.
Personal items should be taken home at the end of each day. We do not have lockers for 5th graders. Our classroom closets resemble a bedroom closet at the moment. Your child is welcome to keep a pair of P.E. shoes here-EVERYTHING else should go home EVERYDAY! We have numerous water bottles, sweatshirts, shoes, and other items being left on the floor everyday. This is frustrating to our cleaning staff that then have to pick up after our students.
We appreciate your support!
