Procedures for Non-Instructional Routines

Bus riders leave at 1:45 and car riders are dismissed at 2:15. Please be sure to send notification of change in address/phone number. When sending lunch money and other fees to school, please put these monies in your child’s tote bag  and remember to label lunch money with your child’s name and the amount in a SEALED envelope. 

 Please be sure that your child does not bring any toys to school. 

Students will need a towel for quiet time as well as a full change of clothes. Please label everything with your child’s name and place in a plastic bag (either a Ziploc bag or a plastic grocery shopping bag). 

Communication with Parents

The 4K program supports the development of children as lifelong learners throughout partnerships with each child’s home and family. Parents will be contacted throughout the school year and are encouraged to send a note if a concern arises. Please send notes in the provided folder for your child. These also include doctor notes. Each family will receive a copy of the classroom rules, student work samples, weekly newsletters, notification of parent teacher conferences/meetings as well as other important information from the front office.  Please check my class website and SeeSaw for up to date information as well. 

Assessment

Evidence for Assessment will include the following sources: work samples, photographs, construction and artifacts and project documentation. Each child will participate in myIGIDS as well. 

Student portfolios are shared with parents throughout the year. 

A skills report card will be sent home each nine weeks showing progress in each K-4 area:  Mathematics, Literacy, and Approaches to Learning, and Social/Emotional.  The Skills Report Envelope will need to be signed and returned each nine weeks. 

Attendance 

Absences: A written excuse from a doctor or parent is needed for all absences. Absences without an excuse will be recorded as unexcused. Please have your child at school by 7:45 if not they will be considered tardy. 

Breakfast/Lunch

Breakfast will be served in the classroom for everyone for free. If your child wants to receive a school lunch, the school menu will be on my class website. 

If you have any questions throughout the year please send a note, email me at atucci@greenville.k12.sc.us , or please call the school. Please visit my class website at : https://sites.google.com/greenvilleschools.us/atucci/home. We look forward to a great year with you and your child!
