Classroom Information
Drop-off and pick-up
Please allow yourself enough time to drop off your child each morning, and make sure your child has already eaten breakfast or bring a packed breakfast for them to eat at school. Remind your child to wash their hands when they arrive to school and to bring their water bottle into the classroom. An adult over the age of 18 must sign a child in/out on the iPad each day.
Each parent and authorized adult will have a unique PIN for the SchoolCareWorks software to check your child in/out. If you are dropping off or picking up outside of normal school hours (8:25am-3:30pm) you must enter and exit through the cafeteria doors. If someone other than a parent is dropping off or picking up your child, they must be added as an authorized adult on your SchoolCareWorks account and must show their ID to the teachers.
Be sure to take water bottles home daily to be washed and take home nap items on Fridays to be washed over the weekend.
Recess
We have recess every morning for 30 minutes and every afternoon for 30 minutes on the lower playground. Please make sure your child wears appropriate shoes everyday so they can run and play on the playground. Please apply sunscreen to your child in the morning before coming to school. We always reapply our program's sunscreen for afternoon recess.
Celebrations
We love to celebrate birthdays in our class! If you would like to provide a birthday treat for your child, please provide enough for 24 students and make sure the treat is store-bought, nut-free, and all the same flavor and type :)
Communication
In order to be successful with teaching your child, please communicate any necessary events with us (family changes, behavior, life transitions, sickness, dietary changes, etc.) It is our priority to keep your child safe and happy!
Email - Email is the quickest way to reach us: marcela.sainz@dcsdk12.org In case of emergency, call the classroom phone number at 303-387-6716.
