Where should my child meet his/her older sibling after school?
Have your older child meet up with your Kindergartener in their designated
dismissal spot. (Car rider-covered area, back walker-black top,front walker-
side door by the computer lab, bus-on the bus, day care-front porch, YMCA-
cafeteria.
What is a back walker and a front walker?
Back walkers are children who walk home from the back of the school. They
will meet parents and older siblings on the black top.
Front walkers are children who leave the school from the front of the school.
They will be dismissed from the porch just outside the computer lab.
What will my child need for daily rest time?
Your child will need a towel for rest time. These will be sent home each
Friday to be washed. Due to limited storage space, we ask for no nap mats
or pillows.
Can student's buy a lunch from the cafeteria?
Yes, but we request that you that children bring a lunch from home for the
first few weeks of school in order to ease the transition. After students
feel more comfortable and routines are established, then they may be ready
to buy lunch from the cafeteria.
How do I pay for my child's lunch?
It is recommended that you purchase your child a lunch ticket ahead of
time. Lunch tickets may be purchased for a week or month with a check or
cash. This money will be placed in an account to be used as needed. Please
send all money in a sealed envelope with your child's name and teacher's
name to the cafeteria in the morning before school starts.
Will my child have Show and Tell?
Yes, each Friday is designated Show and Tell Day. We encourage children to
bring something interesting that correlates to our unit of study. Our
monthly calendar will keep you informed of our upcoming units. No toys,
please.
Can I have lunch with my child?
Yes, it is best to wait for a few weeks. In the beginning we like students
to get used to the routine. We often find that seeing their parents in the
middle of the day causes a tearful separation after lunch that is hard on
both parent and child.
What can I do to help my child at home?
Establish routines with your child such as setting an appropriate bedtime.
(Studies show that 5 year olds need 10-12 hours of sleep per night!)
You can help your child by reading to your child nightly. show an interest
in your child's education by checking backpacks and discussing what your
child has learned each day. Most important, read, read, read to your child!
