Can I send in birthday treats?

Yes. We do ask that the birthday treats be something that can 
easily be passed out during lunch. 
Cupcakes or cookies are the best items to send in.

Why is it important for my child to learn their math facts?

 It is extremely important to memorize your basic math facts for 
addition, subtraction. Without 
memorizing these basic facts it becomes extremely difficult to do 
other things in math such as 
adding/subtracting larger numbers, multiplying/dividing larger 
numbers, decimals, fractions, and 
equations. It all comes back to knowing your basic facts.

How can I help my child master their math facts?

Practice each night. Using flashcards is a great way to practice. 
You can buy them or make your 
own with index cards or even notebook paper.  Once your child can 
verbally 
answer the facts, it is important to have him or her practice 
writing down the answers also. 
Writing the facts will take more time than just saying them 
aloud, and this sometimes 
prevents a student from "passing" his or her timed test. Our 
weekly timed tests have 30 
questions, which are to be answered in 2 minutes or less.

What do I do if my child's transportation is different for a day?

Please write me a note telling me what mode of transporation your 
child will be taking if it going to be different. I can't just 
take your child's word that they are going home a diferent way. 
If I do not have a note I am required to send your child home 
his/her usual way.

Why do I need to send in a note for an absence?

If we do not receive an excuse within three (3) days the absence 
will be unexcused.  Also remember that tardies and leaving early 
are ONLY excused with medical documentation.
