Lower School Curriculum Night 2019
Notes from Class III Homeroom Teachers
Thank you for your help in making the opening of the school year proceed so smoothly. We hope that the following information will be helpful to you.
- Please have your daughter in bed between 8:00 and 8:30 each school night, including Sunday, and be certain she has a healthy breakfast.
- Monitor your daughter’s screen time. We recommend limiting television during the week and that computer or tablet time is supervised by an adult.
Arrival and Dismissal
- The stated arrival time for the girls is 8:00. The girls have many morning responsibilities and are expected to arrive on time to ensure a smooth start to their day.
- Dismissal is at 3:10 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Please remember that faculty members are unavailable to supervise children after dismissal.
Play Dates
- Each girl must bring a note to school if she is not leaving in her usual manner or if she is having a playdate. If a new dismissal plan is made during the day, e-mail lowerschooloffice@nightingale.org.
- We need a note from both the host and the guest about the dismissal arrangement for a playdate.
- Please encourage your daughter to vary her play dates so that the girls come to know each other as third graders and expand their friendships.
Clothing
- It is important that every piece of clothing (pants, tunics, blouses, shorts, sneakers, smocks, sweaters) is labeled with your daughter’s name.
- Send appropriate outerwear so that the girls are ready to step outside for an activity or to visit the roof.
- Please note that while Fitbit and other smart watches are not permitted, your daughter may wear a digital or analog wristwatch.
Birthdays
- Please do not send treats in with your daughter this year; we will make sure her special day is memorable in a unique Class III way!
We look forward to working with you and your children in Class III. Please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s homeroom teachers with any questions.
