What do I do if my child is absent?

Please call the office and ask for your child's work.  I will have it in the
office at 3:00.  Keep in mind that sometimes it is not possible to do some of
the things at home that are done in class.  Please make every effort to have
your child at school each 
day unless he/she is truly sick.  Those children that attend school regularly
tend to do better.

Is it ok to send in birthday treats?

If you would like to send in treats such as cupcakes, popsicles, or another
ready to eat snack that would be fine.  Please send in the treat first thing
in the morning.  We will find a time during the school day to celebrate.

Is it ok to bring a daily snack?

Of course!:) Snacks are not mandatory, but I encourage you to send a
nutritional snack.  Students should not bring candy, cookies, & etc..  It's fine to send in a
bottle of water with your student.  Please send in ready to eat snacks that do not require a spoon.

Should I check my child's math homework?

Yes.  Please check and initial that you have checked over it.  You will know
if your child needs some extra help grasping the concept.  Remember  to work
with learning math facts several times each week.  Expect math homework
Monday-Thursday.

What are Monday Folders?

This folder will contain the work that your child completed the previous week.
 It is an excellent idea to review this work with your child especially if
many mistakes were made.  Show a genuine interest in your child's work. 
Remember to sign and return any paper with a grade of N or U. 
These folders should come back signed the following school day.
