Arrival: Please be sure that your child arrives on time for school. It is important that your child follows a daily routine and can complete all expected tasks in the classroom!
Absences: It is imperative that your child attend school each day in order to receive full classroom instruction. However, in the case of an absence, be sure to contact the main office. Please remember to send a note into school once your child returns to explain the reason for their absence. You may request to pick up any missed work or have your child complete it upon their return to school.
Dismissal: Dismissal will take place at 2:45 each day. Our class will dismiss at the library doors, which are located in the Vreeland driveway. You must send a note to school if your child is to go home a different way than his/her normal schedule or if someone new is picking him/her up.
Lunch: Lunch is at 12:35 each day. Students will have the opportunity to play outside for recess after they finish eating lunch. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather!
Behavior/Discipline Philosophy: Our classroom is a small community where teamwork and good relationships are expected and valued. The students will spend time learning about our classroom procedures and practice them on a daily basis. Positive behavior choices will be recognized and highlighted each day.
Take Home Folder: Your child's folder will be labeled to show two sides "KEEP AT HOME" and "BACK TO SCHOOL". It is important that you check your child's homework folder each day for important notices, letters, and student work. Anything that needs to be returned can be sent back to school the following day. Please be sure to check work that mentions "sign and return."
Star of the Week: Students will be chosen to be "Star Student." The student chosen will have a poster sent home to be completed during weekend. The student will have a special presentation day, typically on Friday, when they will share their poster to the class. This is a fun, exciting way for the students to get to know each other.
