Total Educational Minutes Each Day

***245 minutes equates to 4 hours and 5 minutes of educational time each day. Remember, this is out of 6 hours and 20 minutes that they are here in school.

Please talk to your child about the importance of staying focused in the classroom this year. Any additional interruptions, for any reason, will take additional educational time away from how much teaching I can do, and how much learning your child will accomplish this year.

I need all children to respect the educational time this year so that I have as much time as possible to prepare them for fifth grade and beyond.

Thank you for your support.
