There are several sources for information about goings-on at Third Street Elementary School.  

• BACKPACK:  Many important notices from teachers and the Main Office are sent home in student’s backpacks.  Please check your child's backpack each day and read all notices!
  
• ROOM PARENTS:  Room parents help teachers coordinate classroom activities and keep parents up-to-date on class events (such as field trips, projects, class parties, etc.).  They are also a vital link in the communication process by conveying important school information to parents on a "local" or classroom level.   Please speak to your child’s teacher if you’d like to be a room parent.
  
• BULLETIN BOARDS AND MARQUEE:  Check out the bulletin boards near the Auditorium, the Main Office and “Information Alley” near the Tech Lab. Also read the marquee outside the June Street entrance for upcoming events
• NEWS BLOG:  This is a newsgroup listing various events, reminders and information for families at the school (including posts from the parent groups, Friends of Third and PTA). It is updated by the school-wide room parent coordinator and can be seen on the Friends of Third / PTA website.

Additionally, you can click on the following links (or the same links in the "News" menu, above) to learn more:

• Principal's Monthly Newsletter is an electronic reproduction of the monthly "blue letter" sent home in all students' backpacks, with updates from Principal Dr. Suzie Oh.  
  
• Tech Center Blog includes information for students and parents about the campus technology center and campus-wide technology initiatives.
• Class Blogs provides links to room-specific sites set up by teachers to provide extra communications with students and families about assignments and classroom events.
