Hello Families and Welcome to Pre-K!
My name is Mary Flores and my instructional assistant's name is Maria Puentes. We have the great pleasure of being your child's teachers this year at Cox Elementary.
We are both so excited about getting to know you and your child and having them be a part of our class for the 2026-2027 school year! It will be a great year together with learning, growing, and fun!
Weekly Newsletter
You will be receiving a newsletter from us weekly via Parent Square every Monday afternoon. This newsletter will contain important information about the upcoming week at school. Please make sure you read the newsletter carefully each week.
Meals & Water Bottles
Students will have times for breakfast, lunch, and one snack each day. Please have all items labeled with your child's name and for what meal their items are for. Example: Student Name- Breakfast- written on container of fruit & yogurt.
Breakfast:
Students have the option of eating breakfast from the cafeteria or they may bring their breakfast from home. If you do not qualify for free or reduced meals, students will be charged for meals in the cafeteria- breakfast will cost $1.50. Students will need to have an account set up on My School Bucks. If your child is bringing breakfast from home please have it separate from their lunch box (if applicable).
Lunch:
Students have the option of eating lunch from the cafeteria or they may bring their lunch from home. If you do not qualify for free or reduced meals, students will be charged for meals in the cafeteria- lunch will cost $2.90. Students will need to have an account set up on My School Bucks.
Snack:
Students will have time for a snack each day. Families are welcome to send one snack for their child daily. Please have their snack item separate from their lunch box (if applicable).
Water Bottles:
Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle labeled with their name each day.
Extra Clothes
Accidents happen! We understand that kids have accidents or get messy while they are learning and having fun! Please place extra clothes in a gallon Ziplock bag with their name on it. Their bag should include a shirt, shorts/pants, underwear, and socks. We will keep this bag in their locker at school.
Rest Time
We have a set rest time everyday in Pre-K. While children are not expected to sleep, we do ask that students lay down and rest quietly during this time. Each child will need to bring a nap mat/blanket set (labeled with their name) to use to help make them comfortable. An idea of this is found on Amazon here. Please keep all stuffed animals, dolls, toys at home. Nap mats will be sent home every Friday so they may be washed and returned on the following Monday.
