Dear Families of Third and Fourth Grade Students,
Welcome to a new school year at St. Paul’s Lutheran School! My name is Mrs. Lauren McLaughlin and I will be your child’s third and fourth grade teacher. I am excited to begin another school year and I know God will bless our time together!
I invite you and/or your child to meet with me, call me, or send me an email if you have any questions, concerns, or information you’d like me to have regarding your child’s needs. Since I coach our athletic teams for most of the school year and am teaching during the school day, the best time to meet with me is after 5:00 p.m. If you must meet with me during the school day, please call or email me first so that we can set up a time that is convenient with my teaching schedule and will not interrupt our students’ learning.
If you are interested in getting involved with our classroom in some way here is a list of various levels of parent involvement:
*Donations to our classroom:
-Classroom “Store”: snacks, candy, little trinkets (I’ve had luck at garage sales finding little toys, picture frames, jewelry, stationary, knick-knacks, etc.) The students love earning the privilege to “shop” after they’ve accumulated their stickers for demonstrating good behavior and responsibility
-Job Supplies: birdseed, hummingbird feed mix
-Library: books, old magazines for collage work (check appropriateness)
*Field trip chaperones
*Helping with holiday parties (30-60 min. at end of day): Christmas & Valentine’s Day
*Speaking to class about a topic or doing a “read aloud” (can be tied in to certain holidays?)
If you have other ideas or would like to do one of the above, feel free to email me and we can set something up. I welcome parent involvement and the kids love it too!
I am here to assist your child in learning and I value your involvement as your child’s first teacher. I have been involved with Saint Paul’s Church and School for over 20 years and I feel a deep investment in its future—our students. This school has blessed me in countless ways and I hope you will join me in feeling the same!
In Christ,
Mrs. Lauren McLaughlin
