If I come into the building during school hours, for a meeting, to see my child or dismiss him/her, what do I do?
Please be sure to sign in at the office and let the staff know why you are
there. Students being dismissed will be called down to the office. Please do
not go to your child's room without checking in at the office.
How do I get something to my child or his/her teacher during the day?
Just bring the item to the office and they will be sure we get it.
If my child is out sick how do I get his/her homework?
If your child is out of to school for 2 or more days, due to illness, please
contact your teacher to see what homework cold be sent home. Most likely we
will catch them up when they return and give them an extended time to complete
the work. If they are out longer than 3 days we will limit the homework to
the necessary pieces.
How long should my child be spending on homework?
On average, your child should be working about and hour to an hour and 20
mins. each night, including 20 mins. of silent reading. Of course, this may
vary by night but many assignments can be done over the course of a few
nights, so some nights may be more or less. We like to see children monitor
their work load in preparation for middle school.
What do I do if my child has been working on an assignment for an extendend time and I think it is not productive anymore, or if they really don't understand what they are supposed to do?
It is important that children don't stay working on something when they either
don't understand it or it is taking an extended period of time. Encourage
him/her to write us a short note, explaining the situation, and have an adult
initial it. That way we know how to help them the next day and they work on
their responsibility.
How do get a CORI form completed and how long is is good for?
You may complete the necessary paperwork in the office with a copy of your
license. You need to come in person as it needs to be witnessed by the office
staff. It takes 3-4 weeks to process so please plan accordingly, and is good
for three years. If you have already been CORIed through another school in the
district, please let the office know so we can add the information to our records.
How can I help out in the classroom?
If you have a particular knowledge in an area you think the children would be
interested in learning about please contact your teacher. We encourage
parents and extended family members to share their interests and skills, as
the children really connect to these personal lessons.
