Welcome to an exciting school year at West End School. My name is Miss Pinto and I am your child's third grade teacher. I would like to welcome you into my classroom, and assure you that your child will have an exciting learning experience. I feel that a close relationship between teacher and parent is extremely important; therefore I am taking this opportunity to tell you a little about my classroom.

 Classroom Rules
In order for every child to learn in his or her maximum potential, I will create a classroom environment in which every child feels emotionally and physically safe.
THE RULES FOR MY CLASSROOM ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1) Raise your hand before answering a question
2) Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself
3) Speak politely, without yelling, screaming, swearing or teasing
4) Ask for permission before leaving the room
5) Allow Miss Pinto to teach, interrupting is not acceptable
6) Ask and get permission to use other student's and teacher's belongings
7) You may help another student, but everyone must do their own work
8) Keep quiet in the hallways at all times
When shopping please keep in mind that during winter months children often get sick. Donations of boxes of tissues, hand sanitizers, lysol wipes, and band-aids would truly be appreciated. 
Homework
Purpose of HomeworkHomework will be an important extension of the activities and lessons I have taught in the classroom. It will consist of meaningful homework assignments that reinforce what your child has learned. It will also provide for practice of skills and application of principles that students have learned and reviewed in the classroom.
Time
Actual time required to complete assignments will vary with each student’s study habits and academic skills. If your child is spending a large amount of time doing homework, please contact me and we can discuss possible solutions.
Homework Policy
Students are expected to complete and return homework assignment. Students who do not complete homework assignment or turn in late assignments on a consistent basis will receive any of the following: 1) Communication with parents through planner
2) Recess detention (students will receive recess detention after two consecutive days of missing assignment)
3) Missed reward activity
4) Communication with parents (phone call)
5) After school detention
Students who miss homework because of an absence will receive the opportunity to make up missed work. Students are given one calendar day for each day absent plus one extra day to turn in their work.
