| WELCOME FIFTH GRADERS AND FAMILIES! |

ABOUT MRS. NOUN |
Welcome to San Jose! I was raised in Pinellas County and graduated from North Ward Elementary -- Class of '81! After graduating with a B.S. in Elementary Education from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, I moved to the Washington, D.C. area where I got married and started a family. I brought my family back to sunny Pinellas County in July 2002 to be closer to my extended family. In my sixteenth years of teaching, I have taught grades 1-6, Read 180 and spent three years as a reading coach. During the past five summers, I served as a Just Read!Florida Reading Academy trainer, traveling around the state of Florida providing professional development to its teachers. This past summer I was a Summer Read Camp instructor. Last year I earned my National Board Certification.
I believe in providing your child with a safe and enriched learning enviroment. I encourage students to explore their natural curiosities through reading, conferring, writing and investigating. Working together as a family, our fifth graders will have a great year! |
OUR SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT |
| The mission of the San Jose Elementary Family is to provide a quality education in a safe learning environment where our students will attain their highest level of achievement. |

CLASS RULES |
| This will be added once created with students. |
ABSENCES |
| It is important that students are here and ready to learn each day. If absences do occur, the school requires a signed excuse from a parent, guardian or doctor. The student is resonsible for making up missed assignments in the same amount of time that school was missed. For example, 2 absences = 2 make-up days. |
CONFERENCES |
| I look forward to scheduling conferences with each family during the school year. A parent may request an additional conference at any time during the school year. Phone conferences are also a possibility for parents/guardians who have difficulty making it to school during school hours. |
DRESS CODE |
According to Pinellas County Schools, students are to adhere to the following dress code, as stated in the PCS Student Code of Conduct that each student and parent signs in agreement to at the beginning of each school year.
If a student at any time is not in accordance with this dress code, they will be sent to the office to borrow appropriate clothing or to call a family member to bring them the proper clothing/shoes.
STUDENT DRESS CODE -- Approved May 24, 2005
Excerpt from policy 4.01 CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT
(4) DRESS CODE:
The dress and grooming of Pinellas County students shall be neat and clean, promoting a positive educational environment. Apparel that disrupts educational activities and processes of the school will result in the removal of the student from the regular school environment until acceptable apparel can be secured for the student. The administration will be the final judge about whether a student’s clothing is appropriate for school or whether it will create an environmental climate that is distracting to learning. Principals, faculty, and staff members will enforce the dress code.
Individual schools may have additional requirements if supported by a majority of School Advisory Council (SAC) members, and if they are placed in the school handbook or planner.
Requirements for student dress in all schools are listed below:
1. All shirts and blouses must cover midriff, back, sides, and all undergarments including bra straps at all times. All shirts, tops, and dresses shall have sleeves and cover the shoulders.

5. Safe and appropriate footwear must be worn. Inappropriate footwear includes, but is not limited to, roller skates, skate shoes and bedroom slippers.
