3rd Grade Book Buddies

Getting to know our third grade book buddies from Mrs. Lees class!

Our very first meet up...

Stratton School Book Fair

Dear Stratton parents,

The Annual Book Fair and Fundraiser is taking place on Oct 21 - 24th in the school library and will be featuring titles from the Best Books company.  Best Books provides high quality books for libraries and school at reasonable prices. 

Children will be visiting the fair during their library hour and can purchase books or complete a wish list to take home. See attached schedule for when your child's class will visit the book fair.

Parents can send money with their children to purchase books during the classroom visit or come to school to make the purchase themselves. Parents can also visit in the morning after dropoff and in the afternoon after pickup. Payments can be made by cash or check (made out to Stratton PTO) if it's being sent to school with the children or parents can pay by credit card in person during the morning or afternoon shopping times.

The suggested amount for purchasing books is
K to 2nd grade: $3.99 - $8.00
3rd to 5th grade: $4.99 - $10.00

This event also gives parents an opportunity to donate books to the classrooms. Feel free to send in cash or a check (made out to Stratton PTO) to your child’s teacher(s), label the envelope “Book Fair donation for <TeacherName>”.

Arrival Procedures


Dear Kindergarten Families,
   As the weather begins to cool down the Kindergarten arrival procedure will soon change.  We will start our new arrival procedure on November 3rd and continue through the Winter until the warm weather returns.  Please plan to drop off your child any time between 8:00-8:10 and say goodbye outside of the kindergarten doors. Students will then independently make their way down the kindergarten hallway, under the safety patrols supervision, and will be greeted by their teachers inside of their classroom. This plan is put into place to help promote student independence as well as offer an alternative to waiting outside or in the cafeteria on cold mornings or during inclement weather. 
   However, between now and November 3rd, if the weather is rainy or snowy (hopefully not snowy yet), you may begin practicing this by dropping your son/daughter at the kindergarten doors.  Until then, students will line up normally outside of the kindergarten doors with safety patrol. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions.



Thanks so much,

Mr. Hanna and the Kindergarten Team J
