Weekly Behavior Sheet Stays in the front of the Parent Communicator (gray) folder Students color in box daily Comments from teacher as needed Parent/Guardian reviews behavior with child daily Parent/Guardian signs sheet at end of week, turned in to teacher every Monday.

Your child is an integral part to each and every school day. Having good attendance will help your child in a variety of ways: academically, socially, and emotionally. Each and day is extremely important for all students. We value your partnership in helping to make this possible. Each class will be working towards a perfect attendance goal. For every day that a class has perfect attendance they will color in one letter on their poster. After a class has received perfect attendance for 17 days, they will receive a reward. Last year was the first time in several years that attendance at Maple Elementary fell below 97%.

Communication Papers from the week come home together on Friday for your review with your child A weekly newsletter will be sent at the beginning of the week. Feel free to call me before school from 7:45-8:15 a.m. or after school from 3:15-3:30. Email me anytime at amwoodruff@avon-schools.org Please allow a 48 hour response time for phone and email messages
