What can my child bring in for snack?

Your child may purchase a pretzel for $.10 from the school or they may bring 
one small snack from home. If you send a drink, it must be a small bottle of
water in a disposable container. Please be sure that your child�s name is
legibly written on this snack. As the children take turns passing out snack.
Keep in mind that morning snack occurs a short time before lunch. Please
promote the importance of bringing healthy
snacks.

How can my child take an A.R. Test?

Students who are prepared to take an AR test need to bring an index card to 
school with their name, the name of the book, and the author. If you know the
test number of the book you may also add that to the index card. Students
will take AR tests independently throughout the day. We do not need parental
assistance.

How are birthdays celebrated?

We will celebrate birthdays once a month. Typically it is the last Friday of 
the month. The children with birthdays in that month will be assigned a
treat to provide. The treats need to be store bought and individually
wrapped. Be mindful of children�s allergies.

When do we have P.E.?

Our P.E. days are on Monday and Friday. Please have your child in their 
P.E. uniforms on these days only. Please look at the schedule for the days
when the other "Special" occur.

How can I help my child to set personal goals?

Every Thursday your child will bring home a folder which contains his or her 
work from the week. The folder needs to be signed and returned on Friday.
Please take time to review and discuss these papers and write a goal with
your child for the upcoming week.

How can I help my child with his or her spelling?

Inventive Spelling is important, but this is a transitional year.  Our goal 
is that students master the list of High Frequency Words that was sent home.
Also, take the time to review words that are often spelled incorrectly on the
papers that are sent home in the Thursday Work Folder.
