We are off to a great start this year! I am so happy to be working with all of you. Please send your child a snack and a water bottle daily. Please label both with your child's name. Please leave the snack in your child's backpack separate from their lunchbox. If your child will be eating a school provided lunch, they do not need a lunch box.

Please label all clothing with your child's name including all sweatshirts, hats, mittens, and jackets.

We have GYM on Wednesdays please wear or bring sneakers.

The easiest and quickest way to reach me is via email: tpepper@yonkerspublicschools.org.

ABSENCES! If your child is absent from school, please send a note or an email explaining your child's absence. If your child is well enough to complete any work, please log them into CLEVER. Please click on Benchmark and iReady for Reading and Math supplemental lessons. 

CLEVER LOG-IN: 

1. Google Siragusa School, Yonkers, New York.

2. Click on the link to Siragusa website.

3. Click on the CLEVER button.

4. Enter your child's 6 digit ID # followed by @yonkerspublicschools.org (example 123456@yonkerspublicschools.org).

5. Password is: pepper@1

• If you have any issues with logging into CLEVER please email me.
• Please do not mark the assignments as done. That way, they stay available to your child so they can repeat the lessons. I can see who uses CLEVER on my end, so please do not worry about that.
• Homework is assigned Monday-Thursday evenings. 
• The Traveling Bookbag is the only homework on Wednesday evenings.
• Please keep all of the decodable readers in a safe place in your home. The expectation is that your child will practice reading these books to you at home on a regular basis. They will have a collection of 26 books by the end of the school year!
