What time must my child be in school?

All children must be in their seats no later than 8:35. Please 
make sure your child is on time every day! It is very disruptive
when I have to stop my lesson and change the attendance roster
because of tardy students. If you know me... you know that I am always
on time and I expect your child to be on time too!

What if my child arrives after the 8:35 bell?

You (along with your child) must go to the Main Office to pick up 
a tardy pass. Please do not send your child by themself. If you
are here on time, you can avoid a long delay in the office.

What makes my child's teacher happy?

Getting your child to school on time! I'm a real stickler for 
this one! Please make every effort to get here BEFORE 8:35.
Choose a wake up time for your child and then go back 10 minutes.
It always worked for me with my children.

What does my child need for the first day of school?

Our wonderful P.T.A. has compiled a list of supplies needed for 
Kindergartne.Please get ALL of the supplies on the list. Be sure
to label all of your child's belongings. Everyone has the same
stuff! All children should have a backpack (bookbag) that is
large enough to fit their homework folder into. If possible,
please purchase bookbags WITHOUT wheels. All children must also
have a lunchbag or lunch money.

How does the lunch in the cafeteria work?

If possible, please send your child with a lunchbox (or bag) for 
the first week. The cafeteria is very hectic the first week and
it would be easier (and more time efficient) for your child to
bring their lunch. Please make sure your child's name is on their
lunchbox or bag.

What if my child buys lunch?

I believe lunch costs $2.25 per day. If your child brings money 
for lunch, make sure it is in an envelope with their name on it.
It is MUCH better if you send in more than one days worth of
money. Whatever is left over will go into their account for
future use.

Where do I pick up my child at 3:05?

All children will be dismissed through the front door of Bldg. 4.
Please wait outside until your child exits the building. It is not
necessary for you to enter the building to get them.

What if my child is absent from school?

Be sure to send a note (explaining your child's absence) to 
school the day your child returns to class.

Does my child need to wear a school uniform?

Yes. All students must be in the proper school uniform. Uniform 
shirts may be purchased at our school supply store. All students
must wear a white, black or teal uniform shirt. Our school logo
must be on the shirt. Only black or khaki pants, skirts or shorts
are permitted. Jeans and our school spirit shirt may be worn on
Fridays. Jeans may not be worn on any other day.

What should they wear on their feet?

I suggest that all children wear sneakers to school. We go to the 
PE and have recess several times a week and sneakers are
best for running. Please double or triple knot your child's shoes
in the morning. No sandals are permitted in school. No Crocs
allowed either. Sorry.

Should I join the PTA?

Definitely! Even if you can not volunteer your time, please join. 
We are very fortunate to have such a strong PTA that supports our
school and the students. My class ALWAYS wins the contest for the
first class to have 100% parent participation. Please don't let
me down. Thanks.
