How much are school lunches?
Student lunches are $1.60 a day. Adult/visitor lunches are
$3.00.
When do you eat lunch?
We eat lunch from 11:07-11:32
Can I send birthday snacks?
Yes, you can send any snack on any day. Just send it with your
child in the morning and we'll pass it out during snack time,
which is at 9:30.
Where do I pick my child up?
We dismiss in front of the school building at 2:50. Please have
your monkey car tag in the window so we can identify your child
quickly.
What time can I drop my child off in the morning?
Drop off begins at 7:30. If your child is eating breakfast, you
can drop them off on the east side of the building at 7:30.
What time does school dismiss?
First grade will dismiss at 2:50. Please meet us out front in
the breezeway if you plan to get out of your car to pick them
up. If you are going through the line, please wait for the
Kindergarten traffic to slow down before attempting to pick up
your child.
Can I volunteer?
We love our volunteers! I do, however, like for you to send a
note before you come to help in the classroom. This way, I can
have something ready for you to help with, or children assigned
for you to read with.
Are there specific times to come and conference?
I will be glad to conference with you any day during our PE time
(1:30-2:15), or after school. If you need to speak with me,
please send a note and we can schedule a day and time to discuss
your concerns. Unfortunately, there isn't time to conference in
the pick-up line. If you need to give me information, you are
welcome to come see me after the children have been picked up.
How much time should my child be reading?
Children in first grade should be reading both silently and
aloud
at home each day. Thirty minutes of silent and oral reading will
help your child become a fluent reader. Encourage children to
read fiction and non-fiction text. Always discuss the
information
read and ask the child to retell the information or events in a
story. That way you know whether or not they understand. Praise
your child often, and tell them about books and articles you are
reading, or read when you were a child. Model reading when
possible. Take turns reading aloud with your child. They will
want to emulate your phrasing and expression. Most of all, show
that reading is fun and is a necessary life skill.
