FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Should my child bring a snack?
A: We encourage students to bring a dry, healthy snack each day.(Ex. goldfish, pretzels, grapes) You are responsible for sending snacks for your own child due to the state mandated “Food of Minimal Nutritional Value” (FMNV) law. Please remember that snack is a brief time in our classroom. Your child should bring only 1 small item that does not require any type of utensil.
Q: Can my child bring a water bottle?
A: Water bottles are greatly encouraged to keep students hydrated throughout the day.
Q: My child is going home a different way today--what do I do?
A: If your child is going home a different way, please email/text me or call the front office. Otherwise, no matter what your child tells us, we are required to send them home the way you established at the beginning of the year.
Q: Can I bring birthday treats?
A: Yes. We will celebrate birthdays at 2:30 P.M. I encourage you to send easy-to-eat treats such as cookies since our time for celebrating is very short.
Q: Can my child pass out birthday invitations?
A: Your child may pass out birthday invitations at school, provided there is an invitation for every child in the classroom. If not everyone in the class will be invited, invitations MUST be delivered outside of school/school hours.
Q: How should I send money to school?
A: It is best to send money in a sealed envelope or baggy with your child's name, grade level, teacher's name, and purpose for the money in order for it to be readily accountable.
