Question 1

Answer 1
ARRIVAL: * The drop off time for those children entering the school via the cafeteria is 7:45-8:00. Mrs. Bock will be at the door to greet them and an eighth grader will walk your child to the classroom. Please walk your child to the cafeteria doors to make sure someone is there to walk them to the classroom. If late, please walk them into the classroom after stopping by the office. At no time will the children be entering through Mrs. Barney's outside classroom door. Children arriving by bus will walk over with the bus riders. * Children dropped off in the church parking lot will walk over with the older children. TARDINESS: * Our day is short so please try to avoid this. Often the first 15 minutes are very important. Many directions for the morning are given then. * A child is considered to be tardy after 8:00 until 8:45. After that he/she is considered absent. * If a child is late, stop by the office to check in before walking your child to the classroom. Do not come to Mrs. Barney's outside classroom door.
Question 2

Answer 2
* Dismissal is at 11:25. The parking lot needs to be cleared out for lunch recess no later than 11:35. For your child’s safety, parents are to walk onto the courtyard to get their children. I will not permit the children to enter the parking lot unattended. Mrs. BArney's children will dismiss from the outside classroom door. Mrs. Meyer's class will dismiss from the cafeteria door. * If someone other than the routine person is picking up your child please let me know in writing that morning. No E-Mails please. Have that person introduce themselves to me when your child is picked up. * If an emergency arises please notify the office as to who will be picking up your child. * If you are running late (after 11:30) your child will be waiting in the office.
Question 3

Answer 3
* This is an extended day experience that is offered to your child from the end of morning kindergarten till 2:30. You have the option of signing up for a minimum of two days per week to five days. The days that your child comes needs to be the same day of the week each week. Varying schedules cannot be accommodated. * The cost is $10 per day and is tax deductible. * During this time your child will go to lunch and recess with the primary children, return to the kindergarten classroom for rest time/story time then have activities enriching topics taught in the A.M. class, and have playtime. The class will be taught three days per week by Mrs. Barney (M,T,F) Dismissal by Mrs. Barney's classroom door, and W,TH by someone yet to be announced. Dismissal at the cafeteria door. Enrollment in the class can begin at anytime during the year. Please contact Mrs. Barney about this. * There are no hot lunches at OLL. Children must pack their own lunch. On Fridays such foods as LaRosa's pizza and Skyline chili are brought in for purchase. This is optional. Orders are placed by Wednesdays. Milk and orange drink are always available as well as some snack items. Drinks are 30 cents.
Question 4

Answer 4
* The folder that your child carries in their book bag to and from school each day is the vehicle by which we communicate. Please put all notes and homework in this folder because I do not search for things in their book bags. Please have your child bring in his/her folder each day. The previous day’s contents should be removed by you prior to sending your child to school. If there is homework please remember to put it in his/her folder prior to coming to school. * Notes to the teacher need not be in an envelop and any monies being sent into school have to be in an envelope with child's name and purpose marked on the front. * Please let me know early if there seems to be a problem. Please let me know by note or call school and I will return your phone call at my earliest convenience. * A monthly kindergarten calendar will be sent home * I post a weekly newsletter on my web page to keep you informed of upcoming news (generally available Mondays). It will also be printed for those who do not have an e-mail address. * Also, the school sends out a weekly newsletter, THE LOURDES LOWDOWN, each Monday. It is also posted on the school website. * Graded schoolwork will come home periodically in your child’s folder. * Assignments missed due to absence will come home in an envelope via a sibling or other designated child. Return the envelope the next day so that I have it for the next time. * E-Mail to me should be used only when necessary. I send home a lot of correspondence and I feel that the web page will help as well. If you have a concern you should try to reach me by phone. I would much rather talk to you. * E-Mail should not be used to report absences, tardiness, change in transportation or anything that affects your child for that school day. I do not log in to my E-Mail during the day and I may miss something important. Please write a note for all of these items. My e-mail address was given to you at the beginning of the year.
Question 5

Answer 5
Your child will be bringing a snack each day that there is not a snack provided, a birthday, or Super Kid snack. A schedule will be provided on the monthly calendar. Snack should be something nutritious. So, I ask that no desert items or chips of any sort be sent in. If a sandwiche is sent in it should be no more than a half sandwich. * Please pack all snacks separately from your child's lunch if he/she is staying all day for Enrichment. * There is a $27 fee per semester for drinks. This is payable at the beginning of each semester or $54 all at once. Drinks are provided daily. Your child may have chocolate milk, white, or orange drink. Zero The Hero * Every 10th day of school we celebrate “Zero the Hero Day.” If your child is to bring snack it will be written up on the calendar. Please make the treat something in the shape of a zero or loop. Super Kid * Your child will have a turn to be Super Kid for a week. They become my special helper and get to bring in his/her snack of choice one day (generally Monday), and bring something in the sharing bag to show to classmates each day. Birthdays * Sweet snacks are welcome but not necessary. Please no sheet cakes, as this gets messy. Anything that is easy for the children to handle will help things go more smoothly. Possible options are cupcakes, cookies, candy, and ice cream bars. 20 treats are adequate. There is no need to bring drinks, as the children will have a drink from the cafeteria. * Summer birthdays are celebrated in May. Weekend birthdays will be celebrated on the Friday before. * Please limit the birthday celebration to snack only. There should be no party favors and gift bags. This avoids many problems! Note: If you are having a party at home for your child, please mail all party invitations so that no one’s feelings get hurt. I do not allow the children to pass out invitations at school. * Presently I know of no food allergies. Please inform me if your child has one.
Question 6

Answer 6
* Your child will have the opportunity to bring home one library book per week. We will be going to the library on Thursdays. Please have them return their book by the next scheduled library day so that they can get another book. It may be brought back earlier as I have a basket in the classroom to put it in.
Question 7

Answer 7
* I use volunteers for special projects, parties, field trips, and busy work. I try to spread out these opportunities to all parents as much as humanly possible. Notices or a phone call from the room parent or myself will be sent as needed. I will have a sign up sheet at the Open House in August. * The PTA also offers many varied ways to help in the school. It is a great way to meet others and be of service. * Help is also needed in to clean tables, be a parent reader, and assist in the computer lab. Sign up is at the Open House on Sunday before school starts or at the parent Open House the first Wednesday after school starts at 7:00 P.M.
