K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Silly...) So everyone can keep smiling!

Our principal required that each teacher have a handbook for their classroom.  I included mine in my Open House packet.  Click on the link to view/print all of my handy handbooks.

When I first started teaching elementary, I was coming in as a high school teacher.  It was difficult for me to “dream up" all of the handbooks and handouts that were required for the beginning of school.

That’s why I post them all on my website.  I was grateful to Stephanie, a Y5 teacher, who lent me her handbook so I had a skeleton to start with!   

Hopefully mine will jumpstart your brain and you can tweak them anyway you want; at least you're not reinventing the wheel and hopefully this will be a real time saver for you, especially if you are a beginning teacher.

I find all too often tho’ that parents are inundated with “paper mountain” from the school and have little time to read “everything”, so I made up this cute little ABC checklist to cover my main points and send it home with my students the first day of school.  I feel that “short and sweet” is more apt to be read.

You can tweak mine to fit your needs.  To help you do that, I’ve included one that has some of the information blank for you to type, cut and paste.

You can send this home the first day, tuck in your Welcome to school summer letter/packet, or your Open House packet.

I hope this helps you get YOUR personal “paper mountain” of back-to-school “stuff” into a mole hill!

Happy Planning!
