Can my child celebrate their birthday in the classroom?
We are asking that no birthday treats be exchanged. Students may bring a non-food item to share with their friends!
Will there be snack time?
Snack time will be offered in the afternoon daily during read-a-loud. In order to promote healthy eating habits, we encourage kids to bring snacks that are nutritious. Granola bars, fruits, veggies, nuts, cereal, etc. are fine. “Sweets” such as cookies, candy, chips, and cake should be saved for dessert at lunchtime. Snacks do not include beverages or food that needs to be microwaved. I promote students to drink water throughout the day. Please make sure your child brings a FULL water-bottle to school daily.
Can I volunteer in the classroom?
If you would like to volunteer, I would love to be able to send things home that need to be cut or stapled together. More information regarding volunteering will be made available during back to school night.
How will my student be dismissed at the end of the school day?
At 4:00, 5-6th graders are dismissed to the Shannock street exit (the exit to the back of the school) These students will go out with their teachers and wait in the grassy area to be picked up by a parent on SHANNOCK. 5th-6th grade parents are NOT to pick up in the front lot.
Walkers, Bike Riders and Bussers:
All walkers, bikers, and students riding school buses leave the building through their grade level assigned door and walk in whatever direction they need to. Bikers and walkers must cross with a crossing guard. There is a crossing guard on the southeast side of Lovington and one at Lovington and Shannock, and one by the bus loop on Mitchell.
What if my student damages a classroom or book room book?
Students are responsible for the books they borrow from the classroom library, book room, and school library. Students are asked to seal any books borrowed from the classroom library in a gallon-sized Ziploc when they are carrying them home and back to school to avoid any accidents with water bottles/snacks in the backpack, and/or outside precipitation.
Students are responsible for the replacement cost of classroom and school library books, which varies by book. Book room books currently have a flat $5.00 replacement fee.
How can I pay for school lunch for my student?
Lunches and breakfast are free this year!
What happens when there is severe weather?
You will be alerted of a delayed weather dismissal via phone, email and text. If you are picking up your child(ren) , please come into the building and sign them out from his or her classroom.
Students attending BASE or after school activities that are located in the building will go to their intended location.
Bus riders will be called to the gym and will be loaded onto the buses when it is safe.
Walkers and bikers will be dismissed when the weather is clear. If the weather does not clear by 4:15 pm, please come and sign your child(ren) out in the office. Students must be picked up by parents and/or adults listed on your emergency contact info.
Can my student bring/take tylenol at school?
Parents must provide a medication order signed by their Healthcare Provider in order for their student to receive Tylenol at school. This is based on guidance from CDE in accordance with the Colorado Nurse Practice Act. Please call the Health and Wellness Department at 303-387-0260 if you have questions.
