Classroom policies and procedures

We have snack around 1:30 or 2:00 pm each day.  Please send a snack each day with your child (just for your own child) or you can send a box of snacks for your child to keep at school.

 

Birthday snacks are welcome!  If you would like to send in something for your child’s birthday, please let us know ahead of time.  It would be greatly appreciated if the snack is something easy to pass out (cupcakes, brownies, cookies, pudding, ice cream cups or individually packaged items). Please don’t send any large bottles of juice or milk. Juice boxes or pouches are appreciated.

 

We will usually paint on Fridays so please make sure your child has a paint shirt (old T-shirts work best).

 

The children need to be able to tuck their shirts into their shorts/pants independently.  This is hard for them to learn, and it isn’t something that we can practice at school, so please practice at home.

 

Each Math lesson has a homework page attached to it please make sure you do the homework page with your child, if it hasn’t been completed at school, to reinforce the lesson taught.  They do not have to be returned to school.

 

Your child has their own IXL password which is a great way to reinforce math skills. We ask that you try to have your child spend 10 to 15 minutes a night (as much as possible) using the IXL website.

 

Gym class is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Sneakers can be left at school or brought in as needed. Music is on Tuesday and Thursday.  Art is on Tuesday.  Library is on Friday.  Please return library books on Fridays.

 

If you haven’t sent in a change of clothes please do so as soon as possible.

 

We would greatly appreciate your e-mail address and/or cell phone numbers. Please write them on the sheet provided at open house.  If you don’t attend open house please send this information into school with your child.

 

If you are interested in coming into school to help out with various activities, we will send home a note about this very soon.

 

If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact us.
