The School Day:
School starts at 8:00 a.m. Please
try to have your child to school by 7:50 a.m. so he/she is ready to start the
day on time. School ends at 2:30. If your child’s dismissal plans change
please be sure to notify me by sending a note in your child’s Take-Home Folder
or contacting the front office before 12:00 p.m.
Lunch:
Students may either bring a lunch
from home or buy lunch here at school. If your child is planning on buying
lunch you may put money into their account two ways. You can go online to and
put money in electronically or you may send money to school on Mondays to your
child's teacher (CASH ONLY). Whenever your child makes a purchase from the
cafeteria it will automatically be deducted from your account whether the
money was put in online or collected and put into the account at school.
Please be sure to keep a positive balance in your account so your child will
be able to purchase lunch items as needed.
Snack:
We will have a ten minute snack
break each morning. Please send in a nutritious snack from home. No drinks
please! The students will be able to get water from the fountain.
Students will need to
bring snack beginning the first day of school!
Birthdays:
We will celebrate your child’s
birthday from 2:00-2:15 on, or as close as possible to your child’s birthday.
Summer birthdays will be celebrated during the last two weeks of school.
When we celebrate your child’s birthday he/she may bring in a special snack to
share with the class. Please provide a peanut/nut free snack. (NO
CANDLES!)
Take-Home Folders:
Each student will receive a
Take-Home Folder. This folder will contain the day’s homework, a behavior
chart, returned papers, and any other communication from teachers or PTA. The
folder should be reviewed each night and sent back to school the next day.
Any communication from home may be sent to me in your child’s folder as well.
Homework:
Homework will be sent home
Monday-Thursday and will reinforce skills taught that day. Homework is
designed to be done independently, but some support may be required. Grades
will not be given for homework, but a record will be kept to see if homework
is completed and turned in on time.
Newsletters:
This website will serve as our
classroom newsletter. I will be updating the site weekly with what we have
been working on in class, calendar updates, and any other new announcements.
If you do not have access to a computer please let me know and I will send
information home in your child's folder.
Progress Reports:
Progress reports will come home
every other Friday. These reports will give you a general idea of what to
work on at home and where your child is excelling. Please sign and return the
report on Monday.
