ID badges- Each student will be provided one ID Badge with a lanyard. It will be worn ALL DAY at school. It comes home with your child and returns every morning. A $5 fee will apply for students missing it. It might be a good idea to place it in your child's backpack every evening to ensure that it gets back to school each day.  

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

Yellow Daily Folders- Your child will have his/her communication folder in their backpack daily. Please use this folder for any notes for the teacher. The folder will go home daily and should be returned daily. 

Blue Weekly Folders -  Your child will have his/her weekly work folder come home every Tuesday.  This will contain any work from the week and any graded work that will be entered into PowerSchool.  Please review the work, sign the back paper, and return by Wednesday or the next school day your child is present.

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. I cannot guarantee that I will see an email before dismissal. If you need to change your child’s transportation after they have left for school  please call the office to make transportation changes. 

Absences- If your child is absent, please make sure to send in a note for your child's absence so it will not be unexcused.

Homework- Students are encouraged to read for 20 minutes each night and practice their addition and subtraction facts to 20.  We will have a weekly spelling test as well and the words will be listed in the newsletter each week.

Early Dismissals- Please send a note in the morning if you plan to pick your child up early. There will be no early dismissals after 2:00 p.m. Your child must be present for at least 3.25 hours of instructional time to receive credit for the day.  

Lunch- Lunch money is collected in the cafeteria. It can be paid for daily or weekly. Money may be deposited into your child's lunch account. The lunch menu is subject to change. No "fast food" is allowed in the lunch room. 

Snack Time- The students are allowed to bring and eat one snack during snack time. Please do not send in items such as candy. 

Birthdays- Please do not send in birthday treats for your child this year. Every month, PTA will have a birthday celebration for students that have a birthday that month (June birthdays go in May and July birthday go in August). 

Restroom Breaks: Students may go to the restroom without asking permission. If they need to use the bathroom during an instructional time they might be asked if they can wait until they are doing independent work. If not, they can go immediately. If they can wait, they will be able to go as soon as directions or instructions are finished. Students will be encouraged to use the restroom either before or after lunch.

Movement in the Classroom: Movement is incorporated into classroom instruction to keep students’ brains active and engaged. We will primarily use Go Noodle, which has a great variety of energizing and relaxing activities that are approximately 3 minutes each. Several activities are chosen throughout the day. 

Dress Code- Students are encouraged to wear comfortable, clean clothing which is suited for the weather.  Shoes should be worn at all times.  Caps and hats may not be worn in the building.  Please make sure that all shirts or tops meet the waist band.  Stomachs should be covered at all times.  If children are sent to school in shorts, they should be long enough to completely cover the top of the legs to within two to three inches of the knee.  The primary objective of Greenville County Schools (GCS) is to provide a World-Class instructional program and learning opportunity for every student. The personal appearance of every student is an important component of establishing a safe environment for optimal learning and respect for one another. Students are expected to dress in an appropriate manner while on school district property or representing the school. Personal appearance shall be such that it does not disrupt student work or school order, become distracting to other students, or violate health and safety guidelines.

 Flip-flops are not permitted.  No tank tops, spaghetti strap tops, halter-tops, or vests without shirts will be permitted. Shoulder straps have to be a minimum of l inch wide. No see-through or mesh garments may be worn.
