Daily Schedule

Students will have the opportunity to eat snack in the morning and the afternoon.
Please send two healthy snacks, packed separately from their lunchbox.
Please send your child with a labeled, reusable water bottle. Water is only permitted in our classroom, but other drinks are acceptable in the cafeteria.

On the first day of school, your child will be given a yellow Home to School Folder that will be used to send homework and notices to and from school.
Please remove and review papers and notes in this folder, daily.
Please put any notes you have for us in this folder, as we review it first thing every morning.

Whenever there is a change in how your child goes home, via a new bus, or another designated adult picks up your child, a note is necessary.
Written notification of any change from regular transportation arrangements is REQUIRED by our school policy in order to keep your child safe.

On your child's birthday, he or she will be the star of the day! Your child will receive a crown, a special card from the class and of course be sung to!!
Birthday celebrations are food free but feel free to send in one small item such as a pencil, bouncy ball, etc. You may also gift a book to our classroom library wrapped up for your child to unwrap for the class and/or come and read to our class!
