Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What are PACK slips?
PACK slips are a reinforcement for good behavior. It is a school wide incentive program. The students will fill out a PACK slip when they are caught being good and being the best student they can be. They will receive a sticker right away and then their name goes into a chance for a weekly drawing. Praise your child if they come home with a PACK sticker on. It means they were caught being good at school. They really get excited about this.Back to Top

Will they have homework each day?
I feel that homework teaches the children life skills of organization and responsibility. They will have something to do each night. It should not take them longer than 20 minutes to complete. Also remember to practice math facts, and spelling words each night.Back to Top

Can I get their work if they are sick?
Parents are welcome to pick up any work that your child may miss if they are absent. Please do not come to our classroom before 1:45 pm. This will keep instruction time at a maximum and distractions at a minimum. You can also email me or leave a voicemail if there is a friend or relative (in the school) that I could send it home with.Back to Top

What should I do if my child brings home a Thinking Form?
Please sign the paper and return it to school. This will allow both of us to keep constant track of how your student is behaving in school.Back to Top

Should I initial my child's planner/agenda each night?
Please check and initial your child's planner each night. This will be an easy way for us to communicate. I will write a quick note in the planner if your child has a Thinking Form or if there is something that you need to know about.Back to Top
