When is homework due?

Homework is due every Monday when assigned on the monthly homework calendar. 
Please complete the homework as it is assigned. Do not do a months worth of 
homework in one night. It is very important to work with your child to 
practice the skills we are learning at school!

Please send in enough snack for 18 students. The snack should be healthy and

cold! Please include plates and spoons if required!

Can my child bring toys to school?

The short answer is no. Toys can be brought IF they go along with the Show 
and Explain topic. They will stay in a backpack for the rest of the day.

My child cannot fasten their belt!

There are many uniform pants and shorts that do not have loops. If there are 
no loops they do not have to wear a belt. I am happy to help with belts! 
After a little practice little hands are usually able to get the hang of it.

Can I come for lunch?

Please wait until 6 weeks of school has passed and then you are welcome 
anytime! We ask that you wait because it may be difficult for your child (or 
other children in the class) to see a parent at school and not be able to go 
home. It is also important that rules and routines are established in the 
lunch room.

What if my child is sick?

Please send in a note the day they return. If they are going to be out more 
than one day please call me in the classroom.

What about Birthdays?

When I made the snack calendar I did not have a list of birthdays. Please 
send me a note or an e-mail if you would like to send in a special birthday 
treat the day before your childs birthday.

What is the Buzz Book?

The Buzz Book is part of our morning meeting. I write on chart paper the 
date and a short assignment or question. Each day one student is selected to 
take home that days Buzz Book paper. You do not have to send it back. It is 
for you to share as a family.

Does the color of smile on the behavior folder mean anything?

Nope! All that matters is that the smile is colored in. If it is crossed out 
it means that your child had trouble making a good choice. I will always 
write a short note explaining what happened.
