reminders:

*All kinder classes are now visiting the library weekly. Please have your child bring their book on the designated day:

Monday- Linker

Tuesday- Murphy

Wednesday- Phipps

Thursday- Reinartz

*Snack time is a brief break to refuel and prepare for the rest of our day. Snacks should be  healthy and clean (nothing that requires utensils or messy like cheesy chips or anything with juice that might spill). Students that bring cookies or candy will be asked to take it to lunch as it will not be permitted in the classroom as a snack due to the generally high sugar content and low nutritional value. Remember to send snacks in a separate container or baggie and place in the front or side pocket of your child's backpack. Snacks do not go in lunch boxes.

*Only clear water is allowed in the classroom in a spill proof, non-disposable bottles. If you are sending your child with juice or gatorade, they will be asked to drink it during lunch time. Please do not send in any water with additives like color or flavorings as these will stain and may also contain added sugar which is attracting to outside pests. Thank you for your help in keeping our kids hydrated and our classrooms clean.

*We go to P.E. for MAPS twice per week. Please send your child in tennis shoes and appropriate clothing on those days so they will be able to fully participate safely! There is not time to change shoes before leaving the classroom so please do not send extra shoes on P.E. days.

Monday - Phipps

Tuesday - Murphy

Wednesday - Reinartz

Thursday - Linker

Friday - Fitness Friday 

(all classes to the gym or music room for movement activities)

🔒 For safety, classroom doors close and lock at 7:40 AM.

Please ensure your child arrives early enough to make it to class on time. If your child eats breakfast at school, they should arrive by 7:15 to allow plenty of time to eat before instruction begins.

*Invitations for birthday parties can only be handed out or facilitated by teachers at school if all students, all girls, or all boys in a class are invited. Unfortunately students will not be allowed to hand out invites during school unless the above criteria is met.

*Please remember to keep a change of clothes in your child's backpack (including socks & underwear). Place it in a ziplock bag with your child's name on it. That way, if there are any spills or accidents, we can locate their clothes easily.
