Welcome Class of 2027!


Welcome to 4th Grade!! 
Welcome to 4th grade and to the SLE 4th grade website!  Please take some time to look around and bookmark our site.  Here on our main page you will find general news items for the entire 4th grade.  Across the top you will see tabs (pull down menu if you are on a mobile device) for the individual teachers.   It is here that you will find information on what is going on in the different academic areas.   There are also buttons that will connect you to the Kings Local Website, Progress Book and SLE PTO.  


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. You can read more about our specials rotations by clicking HERE.


Homework:  

Many ask about homework for 4th grade.  Homework is assigned on Fridays and do the following Wednesday.  At times, students may be assigned smaller assignments outside of this time -- for example bringing in a needed supply from home or studying for a test.   


Reminders: 

  • School Fees:  School fees are $77.00 for fourth grade.  Please make checks payable to Kings Local School District.  Students will need to bring in an additional $6.00 for a recorder for music.  
  • Reminder there is NO early release this year on Wednesdays.  The school day starts at 8:40 and ends at 3:20 Monday - Friday.
