Dear Families,
Welcome to the new school year! As we begin our journey together, establishing strong organizational habits is one of the most critical anchors for your student's academic growth.
I understand that this designated 1.5-inch binder system was not included on the initial general supply list distributed over the summer. However, structured organization is vital to the layout and daily operation of my classroom. To ensure our students are set up for success from day one, we will use this binder setup daily to manage portfolios, study guides, and assessments.
I highly appreciate your flexibility and collaboration in preparing this tool. To give you ample time to coordinate and complete any necessary weekend shopping, the completed binder is due in class on Monday, August 22nd. Thank you for your support of our classroom anchors!
