Important Information

Communication

We can communicate via e-mail. My email is hray@rsu14.org. I check my e-mail every day, but am not always able to check it throughout the day. I primarily use email as my line of communication when sending my weekly communication letter, but I will also check Seesaw daily.  If email/Seesaw are not an option or if you need to reach me sooner, you can call the office and leave a message or you may ask to speak to me directly between the hours of 7:45-8 am or 3:15-3:30 pm.

Everyday, your child will bring home a folder containing a variety of notices, assignments, and completed school work. Please return the empty folder the next day.

In order to save paper, I will try to provide as much information as possible through email and through Seesaw (more info. to come). Please let me know if you need paper copies of notices and newsletters. 

Personal Belongings

Please label your child's backpack, jackets, boots, hats, water bottle etc. Please send in a set of extra clothes in a labeled Ziploc baggie to remain at school. Your child may bring in headphones from home to keep at school.  Your child can also bring an art shirt to school. An old t-shirt works perfectly. We keep them in our cubbies to use as needed. There is a Lost and Found area by the library. Lost and found will periodically be donated to a local clothes closet.

School Entry

Any person entering our building must come through the front door and proceed to the office. You are required to sign in at the office and wear a visitor or volunteer pass. If you are picking up your child early, please be prepared to show identification. If you are in the building and not wearing the pass, you may be stopped and questioned. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in following our school policies to make sure all children are kept safe.

The Bus

All questions concerning buses should be referred to the Windham bus garage (892-1809).

Your child will be put on the bus every day, unless we receive a written note that you would like to pick up your child. If a note is not possible, please call or email the school office prior to dismissal time and ask that they inform us. If we do not have a note or notification from the office, your child will be put on the bus. If you have long term plans to pick up your child (every Wednesday, for instance) you may write one note for the period of time to be posted in the classroom. If you are dropping your child off, please stop, drop, and go. This helps encourage smooth transitions, and many adults are there to help.

Special Days

We will be celebrating birthdays by singing to your child and giving him/ her a small gift. Please do not send in any food for his/her special day. This is part of the school's Wellness policy, and we do have children in the room with various allergies.

Recess

Children go out for recess almost every day. Please make sure they have appropriate outside clothing.

Snack/ Lunch

•  Please notify the nurse if your child has any food allergies!

• Our classroom will be a peanut and tree nut free classroom. Please be mindful when packing your child's snack and/or lunch. Thank you for helping to keep everyone safe. 

•  We will have snack every day. Each child must bring his/her own snack. There is no sharing of foods within the room.

•  Snack milk is no longer available for purchase.

• Please send your child to school each day with a water bottle. They can keep them at their seats and access them whenever they are thirsty.
