Weekly Update

Dear Parent(s),

Our class participation in our CSPN drive is at just 54%. Please consider donating so that we may raise our class percentage. If we reach 100% the children will be able to wear jeans to school.

The Campus School Parent Network (CSPN) is the volunteer parent organization at Campus School. Our mission to foster a sense of community within the Campus School by:


•providing community-building events and services for the students


•promoting parental involvement


•providing information and serving as liaison to parents and students


•raising funds to facilitate the operation of the Campus School




It’s EPGY time! Students will need to complete one Stanford Math session and one Stanford LAW session for Homefun each week. In order for your child to receive credit, they will need to stay on the program for a full 20 minute session, and both sessions will need to be completed by Thursday morning. The students are welcome to come to school at 7:30am if they do not have access to a computer, or if they are experiencing computer trouble.

Weekly Update

As you all know, we have started collecting donations for the CSPN fundraiser. If you would like to donate, please send cash or a check in an envelope with your child's name on the outside. Our class will earn a jeans day if we reach 100% parent participation! I know we can do it!!

Also, don't forget about our Entertainment Books fundraiser. The fundraiser concludes this Friday, August 26. Remember, if you do not purchase your child's 2011-2012 Entertainment Book, it MUST come back on Friday. The 2010-2011 version that went home is yours to keep!

Thanks to all of you who were able to attend Parent Night! The PowerPoint presentation was sent to everyone via email - please let me know if you did not receive it. I am so excited about this year! I know that working together will make it one to remember!

This week, the students will begin learning all about famous Tennesseans. On Monday, your child will be assigned a person to research for our Top Notch Tennesseans Project. By Wednesday, students will need to bring in at least two research materials from different sources (i.e. articles from different Internet sites, books from the library, encyclopdia excerpts, etc.). Please help your child read and outline/highlight important facts from their research, so that they are prepared to begin writing their narratives in class on Wednesday.


Thank you for all that you do!

Now for a few housekeeping items...
1. New Entertainment Books were distributed to the students on Monday. Continue to take orders using these books.
2. We are requesting a $25.00 fee for Arts in the School, planners, TCAP prep books, and various support materials that will be used throughout the year. Checks may be made payable to CSPN.

Hopes and Dreams

I can't believe our first week of school has already come and gone! I hope to see everyone at "Meet the Teachers" on Thursday, August 11, from 6:00pm - 6:45pm. This meeting will help to clarify our classroom procedures, as well as the changes that come with being a 4th grader at Campus School. As a teacher, as well as a parent, I know firsthand how crucial it is to work together in order to ensure the success of your child. With this in mind, I look forward to working with each and every one of you over the course of this year, and encourage you to stop by our classroom whenever you are able. This week the children completed their Hopes and Dreams for fourth grade. They are now on display in the hallway.

Now for a few housekeeping items...
1. We sent home registration packs (large brown envelopes) with students on Thursday. Please fill out these forms and return them as soon as possible.
2. We are requesting a $25.00 fee for Arts in the School, planners, TCAP prep books, and various support materials that will be used throughout the year. Checks may be made payable to CSPN.
