My weekly newsletter can be found at the top of the homework sheet each week. There will be times where the newsletter will need to be more in depth. You will receive a separate copy of it and it will also post here.
Helpful Information
The School Day
Our school day begins at 7:40 but I do begin to work with students at 7:20. After announcements, we take lunch count. Please make sure your child knows if they brought a lunch or if they need a lunch from the cafeteria. If you pack a snack in a lunch box make sure your child knows what is the snack and what is the lunch. Because we are a CEP School, all students’ breakfast & lunch are free. The menus are posted online. Be aware that there are times when our cafeteria has to change the choices at the last minute, like when the delivery truck is late or the company sends the wrong food items. ALL students need to bring a water bottle to school every day. After lunch count is complete we begin our academic day. A schedule of our day is on my website. Our Library day is Monday and PE day is on Wednesday. Please make sure your child is wearing sneakers every Wednesday or they will not be allowed to participate in the planned activity. Our dismissal is at 2:30. We have snack at the end of the day. Please send a healthy snack and water bottle. If you are picking up your child please make sure you arrive on time and be prepared for a bit of a wait the first few weeks as the PreK & Kindergarten kids learn how to do car dismissal. Please have your family number in the window since our dismissal is digital this year. Please make sure your child knows their family number, and the color and make of the car picking them up.
Homework
I do assign homework. The homework packet goes home each Monday and daily assignments are due the next day. Reading is a nightly expectation. Please remind your child to put their blue Blair folder into their book bag every night after they have completed their homework and reading log. This is a great habit to form from the first day of school, having the student be responsible for their own folder as well as library books.
Questions or Transportation Changes
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out via note, email, or phone. Phone calls are sent to voicemail during the day and I will return your call as soon as I can, but it normally is after 3:30. I check my email at 6:45 am every day and after school. If there is a transportation change please send a note in your child’s folder in the morning or call the front desk.
Thank you for trusting me with your child. I look forward to a wonderful and FUN year in Room 181!
