SYLLABUS - LINK COMING SOON FOR 25-26 SCHOOL YEAR

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SYLLABUS

Attendance - Good attendance is very important and is imperative to a student’s success. When students are absent they miss daily review of skills previously taught as well as new skills being taught. Students should arrive on-time daily unless there is an appropriate reason for absence. You may submit doctors notes for excused absences under the ‘Attendance’ tab under the ‘Parents’ tab on the school website. You may also send these in your child’s blue communication folder. 

Parent Notes - All notes must have the following information: date, teacher's name, student's first and last name, and parent signature.

Communication (Blue) Folders - Your child will have his/her communication folder in their backpack daily. Please use this folder for any notes for the teacher. Please keep this in their backpack and check it when they come home at the end of the day.

Changes in Transportation - If you wish for your child's transportation to be changed for a particular day, please send in a written note with the correct date, teacher's name, student's first and last name, and parent signature. If there is no written note received then your child will go home via his/her usual method of transportation.

Homework - Your child is encouraged to read or be read to for at least 15 minutes a day. For extra practice, please have your child identify numbers 0-20, practice adding and subtracting within 5 (can go up to 10 if ready), read and write weekly sight words, and writing simple sentences.
