When is homework due?
Homework is due the day after it has been assigned. Monday's
homework is due Tuesday, Tuesday's homework is due Wednesday etc.
The students will receive a homework sheet each Monday. All
homework should be completed in their homework notebook unless a
worksheet is assigned. If the student loses their homework
sheet, please see the "Homework" page on this website or see the
teacher for a new sheet.
How do I notify the school of a transportation change?
Your child has a "usual" way of getting home from school each day
even though the way they go home on Monday might be different
than the way they go home on Tuesday. When a change comes up in
the "usual" way that they go home for that day, the request must
be in writing. Please use a full sheet of paper.
The note should include the child's full name, teacher's name,
date, what the change needs to be, as well as a parent's
signature. The note should be given to the teacher to be
forwarded to the office to document. Please remind/encourage
your child to turn those notes in to the teacher in the
morning. A note at 3:15 makes for a frantic dismisal.
What should my child do with their Buzz Bucks?
The Honey Hive is open during lunch recess on Thursdays for
students to spend their Buzz Bucks. These have been earned for
following school rules and exhibiting positive behavior. Many
students like to keep these in a "Buzz Buck holder" which can be
purchased from the school office for $3. Buzz Bucks cannot be
replaced if they are lost or washed in a pocket. The colors
change each nine weeks. Students need to spend the old color by
the Thurday following the end of the 9 weeks.
When should we pay lunch money?
Lunch money should be paid weekly or monthly. It should be sent
in an envelope clearly marked with the student's full name,
teacher's name, amount being paid and the child's lunch code
number. You do not need to identify
breakfast money and lunch money. Students are given a lunch menu
at the beginning of the month and it is also posted on the Honey
Island website.
Does my child need a snack each day?
The class is permitted to have a light snack each day. Students
are not allowed to trade or share snacks except for birthday
treats. You may also send a box drink or a water(with a pop top)
if you like. Please, no soda, or candy. Try to make it a healthy
snack.
Can we send in treats for a child's birthday?
If your child would like to celebrate their birthday at school
please contact me prior to the date. You may send in a snack and
napkins that can be shared at the end of the day.
What about book clubs?
I will send home book club forms at the beginning of the month.
Please make your checks out directly to the book club. We recieve
points toward classroom books and materials when you order and
students enjoy receiving books in class.
What is the school's policy on visitors and volunteers?
We encourage parents and family members to visit our school and
to be active. All visitors and volunteers need to sign in at
the front ofice and wear an identificaion badge while on the
campus. This is a state law and will be enforced for your
child's safety. Please sign in using the volunteer book in the
front office. The PTA logs volunteer hours which
includes chaperoning field trips and helping out at class
parties. Unexpected classroom visits and hall conferences are
not allowed at our school. If you need to see your child or need
to drop something off, the ofice will send for the child.
What time should my child be at school?
Please try to have your child at school on time. The bell rings
for school to begin at 8:20, and students are counted as tardy if
they arrive after 8:30. Instruction begins as students enter the
classroom. Students can be brought to school starting at 7:50.
Can my child bring a water bottle to school?
Water bottles are permitted in my classroom. However, I require
they have a "pop-top" on them. This prevents large spills on
classroom supplies. If the student has a screw cap, they will not
be permitted to use it. Please, water only.
