Dear Parents & Guardians,
The teachers of Switlik Elementary and I cordially invite you to our 4th grade "Back to School Night” Thursday, September 21st. (please see the schedule below). You may report directly to your child’s classroom. There will not be an introductory meeting in the APR this year. I will be making a few announcements over the PA system promptly at 7:00 p.m. to start the evening.
On this evening, you will have an opportunity to meet your child’s teachers, visit our classrooms, and learn about our programs. Please note that this is an evening for parents only.
Thursday, September 21st (Grades Four and Five)
7:00-7:25 PM Grade Four and Five parents may visit their child’s classroom.
7:30-7:55 PM Grade Four and Five parents of multiple students may visit their child’s classroom.
Some of our special subject teachers and other staff members will also be in attendance during these times. I encourage you to introduce yourselves to these important members of our faculty.
Please remember that this is not an evening for individual conferences, but instead an opportunity to learn about the curriculum and the activities occurring in your child’s classroom. If you would like to speak individually with a teacher, do not hesitate to contact him/her directly. Once again, please note that this is an evening for parents only. Please help us by making arrangements for child care so that we are better able to accommodate the seating of all parents.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Raymond

READING IS ALWAYS ENCOURAGED. Open your mind to new adventures.
Daily Reading
Students should read at least 2 steps at home each night (each step is 15 minutes)
(TBA) Reading logs should be filled in completely and intialed each night by a parent.
Let's ALL meet our goal every month!
Birthday Party Policy
Birthdays will be celebrated at lunchtime in the cafeteria. To be sensitive to allergy concerns, non-edible items (e.g. toys, stickers, pencils) are strongly encouraged for these celebrations so that all children can participate in the celebration.If you choose to send in a snack, consider a healthy snack. Also please note that all items sent must be in individually wrapped, pre-packaged portions so that the child can easily distribute to classmates. Ice-cream cakes and whole cakes cannot be accommodated by the food service staff. You can deliver your item and/or treat to the receptionist or send it with the birthday child. Visitors are not permitted in the cafeteria. Birthday and/or Party invitations are not handed out in school, under any circumstances.Report Cards
Please be sure you are ready to access your child’s report card on the district portal website. Report cards will be available on the portal to parents on ________. Also, please remember that if your Portal log-in does not work, please try the “Forgot My Password” link above BEFORE contacting support, as most issues will be resolved through that feature. Please note that the “Forgot Password” link will work only with parents who have an e-mail as their login ID. For questions or problems with your login ID’s or password (or if you do not have them), please send an email to portalsupport@jacksonsd.org and include your name and phone number, as well as your child’s name, school, grade, student ID number and the problem you are experiencing and we will respond to you as quickly as possible.
