The Mendoza Message
for
September 6, 2024
This week went by quickly. Friday after school was very busy since Biden was
in town. If you send an email to the office about being picked up early or a
change in pick up routine, please include me in the email too.
The upcoming week will be our first full week of school. Please make sure your
child gets to bed at a decent time. They will be tired during this first full week of
school. It has been a while since they had a full week of school.
I wanted to let you know that I will not be reading emails after about 4:00 pm,
over the weekend and during school breaks. I will reply to your email as soon as
I can when I return to work.
There has been a change to our special schedule. The updated schedule is below.
Please look it over.
During Snack Time, your child still needs to bring in fresh fruit and veggies.
Your child should not be eating chips or cookies. They can have it for lunch.
Another item, please make sure your child dresses for the weather. Last week, it
was hot. But, this week was cooler, especially in the morning. Also, please make
sure your child brings a water bottle to school. They will need to have a water
bottle with them everyday.
Yes, the laptops and charging cords are here. Your child has started to use them
in school. Next week is NWEA. So, I am keeping the laptops in school for
another week.
After we complete the NWEA, I will send home the laptop, charging cord and
add a QR code to the “white”Lawton folder. Once home, the charging cord will stay at home. We will not collect the charging cord until the end of the year. So, please place the charging cord in an area where you can find it.
Another item about laptops. Once the laptops go home, remember, it is your
choice if you want your child to be on their laptops over the weekend. Just watch
your child when they are on their laptops. Please keep the laptop in a safe place
when it is not in use. Finally, if there's a problem with the laptop, please contact
ITD. Here is the information to contact them (which is on the AAPS website-
under “Students & Parents” -> “Parent & Family Resources“-> “Family
Tech Support”):
Hours of Operation
Monday-Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM
Call: 734-997-1222

I do have a blog ( https://mendozaclassroom.blogspot.com/)
and a web page (https://mendozaclassroom.wixsite.com/mendozaclassroom).
The blog is a place where I place my newsletters. This way, you have one place
to find all of my newsletters in one spot, and you don’t need to look through your
emails. My web page is a resource spot. I have links to multiple websites, links
to my blog and I plan on having an area to find Math Family Letters and Home
Links.
Thank you for returning the white Lawton folders as a daily “Home Folder”.
Your child is to bring it back and forth to school daily. If you have any notes for
me or the office, please put it in the folder. I look through them every morning.
Again, right now, there is no homework. I will talk about homework on Curriculum
Night- Tuesday, September 17th from 6-7:50. The first homework will be coming
home after Curriculum Night.
Remember, every child can receive free breakfast and lunch this year. Please
note, that in order for it to be free, your child needs to take a complete breakfast
and/or lunch. A la carte purchases (like only getting milk with lunch) will be
charged to families.
Here is some helpful information from the school nurse. Just click on the link.
Lastly, thank you for donating items from my “Wish List”. One item that is
not on the Wish List that I would love to have is tissues. Allergy season is here,
and the children would need them. Again, here is the QR Code to the Amazon
“Wish List”:
Information from Lawton:
The Lawton Spiritwear Store is open through Sunday!
https://www.dexterprint.com/online-stores/Lawton-Elementary-c140850027
The order deadline is September 8th, with delivery to Lawton the week of
September 23rd. This is a PTO fundraiser,
so a small amount of each price goes back to the PTO. Thank you!
For most youth items you can choose from 4 options so be careful that you select
the color and logo that you prefer. Adult items and Lawton Athletic jackets are also
available! Also note the sizing charts, some items, especially the flannel pants and
basketball shorts seem to run big.
!!PLEASE NOTE!!! For delivery to Lawton - choose "in-store pickup", and then on the last page in the
comment box indicate your student's name/teacher for classroom delivery OR let
