General Information

Arrival- students may arrive to school between 8:40-9:00 am. Students are marked tardy if they arrive past 9:00 am. Students need to unpack and sign in for lunch prior to 9:00, so it's best for students to arrive approximately 8:40 am to ensure they have time to organize materials and socialize before school begins. Students may not arrive prior to 8:40 am.

Lunch- students may buy or pack lunch. Menus will be sent home monthly. Students will sign up for how / what they are purchasing daily.

Lunch will not be served on half days.

Labels- Please label everything you send in with your child.

Dismissal- PLEASE NOTIFY THE OFFICE IN WRITING IF YOU ARE CHANGING THE WAY YOUR CHILD GOES HOME. Please send in a note the morning of the change -so that the office and myself are notified. Using the orange note pad that was given in the beginning of the year folder is most helpful. If you need a last minute change- please call the office and the secretaries will notify me. Please do not leave me a voice mail- I may not receive it.

Toys- Students may bring toys from home to play with during recess only. Please use discretion when allowing your child to bring in toys from home. No electronics permitted.

Homework Folders: Folders will be sent home as a daily form of communication. Homework folders are labeled "Keep at Home" on one side and "Return to School" on the other. All papers on the "Keep at Home" side should be taken out daily and kept at home. All papers on the "Return to School" side should be returned to school on the following day unless otherwise stated.

Snack Policy: A healthy snack should be sent in for your child from home each day. Some ideas for a healthy snacks : fruit, veggies, yogurt, granola bars, pretzels etc. You may also sent in water bottles, but please do not send in juice. We also have a water fountain in our classroom. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!

Birthdays: To celebrate a birthday in our classroom, students can bring in a birthday treat to share with the class. Please let me know a few days in advance so we can make sure there are no conflicts. Please do not send in birthday invitations to be handed out unless you have one for each student. You may use the social list to send invites out outside of school.
