Homework: Reading: Students read for at least 15 minutes every night. Nightly homework: Each night the homework folder will be sent home and is to return to school every day.
If a student arrives to school late in the day they should unpack their folders first thing and hand their folder to the teacher. If they are absent then they turn their homework in as soon as they return to school. School Hours: School will officially begin at 8:20 a.m. If your child enters the room after this time, he or she will be considered tardy. We will begin dismissal at 3:00 p.m. (2:00 on Wednesdays)
Transportation: Please keep me updated throughout the year on any transportation changes that may occur. If your child has any change, please send a note or call the school. I may not have time to access the internet, so email is not a good source of communication for this matter.
Weekly Folders: We will be sending school-wide folders home on Friday. Please be sure to look over the "weekly report" and any informative papers. Return the folder on Monday.
Lunch: If you plan on having your child buy a lunch, please keep the account updated. In my experience, second graders get very upset when they do not have lunch money. Borrowing from the PTA is allowed no more than 4 times per year.
Volunteers: Please make sure that you have completed your volunteer clearance through Wake County.
Parent involvement and volunteering is encouraged and welcomed at Sycamore Creek Elementary. Protecting the instructional periods of the day is also a priority for our school. Please refrain from popping into your child's classroom during the school day without prior arrangements. We ask that you help us ensure the instructional day is protected and not interrupted so we can provide the best education for your child. |
