PLEASE READ...3rd Grade Parent Meeting Overview
SCHOOL HOURS AND SCHEDULE
A. There is no one on duty until 7:30 am

BY DROPPING OFF/PICKING UP IN CARPOOL LINE. THIS IS A POLICY STATED ON
FAIRFIELD'S MAIN WEBSITE AND IT IS STATED IN YOUR CHILD'S BULLDOG FOLDER. IF
YOU JUST HAVE TO COME IN AND PICK YOUR CHILD UP, WE ASK THAT YOU REMAIN

ARE ON DUTY AND STUDENTS ARE BEING SUPERVISED IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING.
C. There are teacher's schedules posted on our website.
D. Conference times are @ 11:00-11:45 daily. Call school or e-mail to
schedule a conference. We do not conference unless one is previously
scheduled. WE CANNOT CONFERENCE IN THE HALLWAY BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER

CONFERENCE TIME. "CATCHING" A TEACHER IN THE HALLWAY JUST SIMPLY CANNOT
HAPPEN UNLESS IT IS AN EMERGENCY TYPE SITUATION. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,
RESPECT OUR POLICY.
E. Classrooms are locked @ 2:50 pm as we leave. If your child forgets
homework they need to call a friend. They will NOT be allowed back into the

CHILD'S TEACHER.
