What tools should my child have at home to be successful in school?

For LA: a dictionary and thesaurus
For math:a calculator and ruler
in general: good lighting and seating, pencil/eraser, and proper 
sound level for your child.  Colored pencils, crayons, and a glue 
stick at home may also be helpful to finish work not completed in 
class.

Do I need to pick up homework for my child when he/she is sick?

When a child is sick for 2 or more days, a parent may request to 
pick up
homework in the office.  Please call or e-mail me with your 
request.  Because
of my class schedule, I cannot get homework to the office before 
noon.

Will my child go on any field trips this year?

Yes! We are going to a forest preserve in the Spring for our 
science unit on 
pond ecosystems.  There will one other trip that is in the 
planning stage now.

Yes, even if there is no money in the account, the food service 
will provide 
a cold lunch.

Can my child bring in treats for his birthday?

Due to allergies within the Tiger Hall and the overall 
nutritional health of 
our students, I prefer that parents bring in non-food items to 
celebrate.  
Please contact me or the school nurse for ideas.

How can my child earn a ROAR raffle ticket?

There are many ways to earn an award.  They include:
* 1 weeks of turning in all homework
* having one's "paw" moved to "Outstanding Behavior"
* everyone in the class returning library books on time earns one 
class award
* outstanding behavior that shows "above and beyond" consideration
for others
