Welcome to 4th Grade!

Welcome!
We are so excited to back for another great year at South Lebanon Elementary. 4th grade is a little different this year with 5 teachers!  This year we have 2 4th grade teams and one self-contained classroom.  Mrs. Scruby and Mrs. Tucker will be teaming together and Mrs. Westley and Mrs. Clements will make up another team. We welcome Mrs. Caskey to Kings Local as she will be our 4th grade self contained classroom. 


Mark your calendar!
Parent Orientation is set for Monday, August 21st from 6:30-7:30 in the SLE cafeteria. 



Healthy Snack Time 


Due to the late time for 4th grade lunch (12:50), we allow students to have a small, healthy snack mid-morning.  Snacks should be something that can be eaten in 10-15 minutes, healthy and due to the many allergies we ask that all snacks be nut free.  

Also, new this year, no homemade baked goods are allowed as snacks in the classroom.

Examples of snacks allowed would be:
  • fruit (apples, bananas, grapes and strawberries are good choices)
  • carrot or other vegetable sticks
  • cheese cubes
  • goldfish (or similar) crackers
  • pretzels
  • crackers / graham crackers
  • small yogurt (note we do not have refrigeration & please send a spoon as we do not have these in the classrooms)


Items that are NOT allowed in classroom for snack:

  • granola bars
  • trail mix
  • home baked goods
  • potato chips / Cheetos / Doritos / etc.
  • Any item that contains nuts, nut butters or seeds

For more information about food allowed at school, please refer to the new the Kings Approved Snack List by clicking HERE and the Kings Wellness Policy which can be found by clicking HERE. (Found on the Food Service area of the Kings Website).

Specials
We will be doing the same rotation schedule as last year --- RED, BLUE, WHITE, GOLD. The first day of school will be a RED day. Please look for more information about specials in your child's homework folder or planner.

School Fees
Please note that school fees are due by September 8th and are $77 for the 2017-2018 school year. Checks should be made payable to KINGS LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT.  

ART UPDATE
From Mrs. Hoffert: Although we try to be as clean and neat as possible, painting accidents do happen.  Please try and wear older clothes on art days.  We do have art smocks that all students wear, but again, painting accidents happen.
