September 2014


To all 3rd Grade Families - the 3rd grade team would like to extend a warm welcome back to all families returning to the Bay for yet another wonderful year of learning and fun.  And to all of our new families joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have you join such an amazing community of learners.  We look forward to working very diligently with your children to help them grow and develop in a very meaningful way while striving to master all of the standards in the 3rd grade curriculum.  Please ensure that your child is reading every day and help monitor their multiplication homework to assist with the memorization process that is required of your child this year.  Check their agendas regularly, as well as our 3rd grade website, to keep up with all important information and dates for testing and special events.  Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions and concerns that may arise as the year progresses.


ATTENDANCE ~ ABSENCES & TARDIES

ABSENCES:  Absences must be reported by a parent via telephone or email each day that the child is absent.

By phone:          Attendance Line @ 754-323-6452   or
By email:        manateebayattendance@browardschools.com

The phone call or email must give the child's name, their teacher, the date(s) of the absence, the reason for the absence and the parent's name excusing the absence. Although you have 48 hours to call and excuse the absence, we encourage you to call before 12:00 noon the day of the absence.  If you forget to contact us to have the absence excused, the District will send out an AUTOMATIC phone call for the unexcused absence. 
If your child accumulates 5 or more UNEXCUSED absences throughout the year, the District AUTOMATICALLY generates a BTIP letter.
