Home School Communication
Please ask your child to show you their take home folder each day and be sure to remind your first grader to put it in their backpack each morning!
Be on the lookout for home school correspondence, such as notices and curriculum letters, as well as your child's beautiful work each day!
I will check for emails/notes from you at the beginning of each day!
Please note that I check my email before school, at specials times and after school each day. If there is a change to your child's plan or something important for me to know, please be sure to let the office know so they can communicate that message.
Absences, Pick Ups & After School Activities
This year PGS will be using a new dismissal system called School Pass. Please utilize this system to input all absences, late arrivals, pick ups, and after school activities. Please contact the office staff via phone
(860) 404-4790 or email pinegroveoffice@avon.k12.ct.us with any questions regarding the system. It is also helpful for you to send me an email that day, especially if your child tends to worry about changes to normal routines. If your family is taking a vacation during the school year, it is very helpful if you notify me in advance, via email or a note, whenever possible.
Recess
We will be going out to recess every day after lunch. Please send your child in with clothes that
are appropriate for the weather and footwear for an active recess. Additionally, please label your child’s belongings (jackets, lunch boxes, hats, etc) before sending them to school.
Birthdays
We celebrate birthdays with a birthday pencil, birthday song and a crown! Our school policy is no birthday snacks or shared food unless it is a class celebration. Please do not send party invitations to school.
Snack
We will have 1 snack time in the afternoon each day, as we have a very busy morning and early lunch time.
