A note about homework: It is almost certain that the amount of homework wont meet your
expectations. Apart from variations amongst students, different cultures also have different
expectations. For those students who have too much, we can make accommodations. For those who
feel their child has too little, there are many extension projects to challenge them. In any case, please
see the teachers involved.
Golden Dragon:
Along with other international schools in the region, our school library sponsors a yearlong
reading activity: Golden Dragon. Around 20 books are chosen from books published in the previous
year. The librarians choose a wide variety of genres and levels.
Snack Time:
Students can eat their snack at 10:10 each day. Please pack some healthy food to eat for
snack. We do not have lunch until 12:50. Students may not go to the cafeteria during the day to buy a
snack or drink. Students may bring a water bottle to the classroom.
Birthdays:
You may send in a treat on your childs birthday. E-mail me so I can let you know the best
time to bring the treat.

Field Trip to Lopuszna:
Our Field Trip to Lopuszna is one of the highlights of the ASW school year. Please read the
information I sent home with your children.
Daily Schedule:
I have sent a copy of the daily schedule home with your child. I will also place a copy of our
daily schedule on the classroom website. We have PE on Mondays and Fridays. It is imperative to
have the proper shoes/clothing and, when swimming begins, the proper swimwear. You will be
notified when swimming will begin.
Important upcoming dates:
Thursday, September 1 Back to School Night from 18:00 - 20:00. 5th Grade will start by
meeting in the MPR (New Building) before the event (most likely at 17:30) to talk about the Field
Trip to Lopuszna.

Parent-Led Conferences/NO school
Please do plan to attend both events. I would like to meet you all in person.
If you ever have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I am going to share even more
information about the 5th grade curriculum and my class expectations and procedures during the Back
To School Night. I look forward to the rest of the year.
Sincerely,
Zuzana Matusova
