Can I volunteer whenever I want in my child's class?

Yes, as long as you have filled out a volunteer packet from the 
office and
have a valid background check. Once you have been approved you
can come as often as you like, as long as your child does not
become affected by it. We also do not have volunteers in the
classroom until September. This allows us to get our rules and
routines down and have the kids comfortable with us.

How else can I help at school?

PEC does not have Art as a special, but we do have Art 
Materpiece. You can sign up as a Art Materpiece volunteer. You do
not have to be artistic. All the ideas and materials are provided
for you. If you are interested contact the office and they will
send you in the right direction.

If we go on vacation during school time, does my child need to get work?

Yes, it is a grade on their report card. If you child is going to 
be absent please let me know, so I can provide the work they are
missing.

Does my child need snacks or waterbottles at school?

Yes! Your child needs to bring a waterbottle filled only with 
water each day. They also need a healty snack for afternoon
snack, teachers do not proved snacks. Please do not send in candy
or messy items for snack. Good suggestions are crackers, granola
bars, an apple, grapes, cookies.

What are the school hours?

School begins by 8am. However students are allowed in as early as 
7:40 am. Attendance is sent in by 8:05, so if you are running
late you have to drop by the office and get a late pass.
Exceptions are Early dismissal days,which will be marked on your
month calendar.

A backpack, with their name clearly labeled on it, a lunch box, 
or lunch money, snack and a waterbottle. Once we begin Show and
Tell,they should bring one item that has to do with the Show and
Tell theme of the week. You will receive an assigned day for your
child's show and tell as well as an explanation on how we do show

How do I know how my child is doing on a daily basis?

Your child will be taking home a "Daily Take Home Folder". In 
their folder will be a behavior calendar. I will be using this
calendar to communicate behavior to you each day. Green meens
great, yellow means had a warning, orange means had several
reminders and had a time out, read means their behavior was
severe and had a long time out or sent out of the room. (There
will be a note or phone call for this behavior). They also can
earn purple. Which means they have been better than green. They
might have helped a freind tie their shoe or picked up a friend
if they fell down.
