transisitoning to 3rd grade

[Guest guest]

Do you think it's acceptable to send a group email to the third grade

teachers at the school will attend next year inquiring about

the typical order of events for the school day?

I'm trying to find out if there is a Morning Meeting or some sort of

Share time with the teacher and students - calendar, etc...

I want to know when they have all the specials, ie: library, music, PE,

and art.

I want to know when they typically have lunch.

I'm trying to get a guage on a typical 3rd grade day to help me better

plan for 's IEP.

His Special Education Teacher knows nothing, I asked already.

Thanks -

Jayne

I would ask a thrid grade or one hwo has moved to fourth - you probably will

get a better sense. The school may get really upset over your " interfering "

with the school day.

I would contact the assistant principal and request to talk with a third grade

teacher or get a schedule of their day. It's better to be transparent that way

than to contact teachers directly.

I think it would be ok to ask if you explain why and have the best

interest of your child in your heart. After all if you never ask you

will never know, and new teachers come along all the time. I would

hope that the third grade teachers also have the best interest if

you need to be informed for your child.

So many things I did not question in the past, I now do.

Things tend to end up going smoother, for child, teachers, parents

and everyone, if parents get invloved, and try to realize what

happens to their child during the progression of the day. I have a

gut feeling to ask and be diplomatic about it.

I actually send group emails all the time. May be that one person

in the group that makes it all work easier.

Just my thoughts,

Jean

Good idea - there isn't a VP though. Do think calling the office and

just asking my question? Or...email Principal?

Thanks,

My feeling, although brash, is " Ask forgiveness, not permission. " I always

get in trouble when I has for permission. I say do it and if they don't

respond in a way that gets you what you want, ask a parent or go to the

principal. What your asking for is not over the top, by any means.

JMHO.
