Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What do I do when my child is star of the week?
All the instructions will be inside the Star Backpack that your child will bring home, on the Friday before he/she is the Star. I will be choosing students in alphabetical order, using their first name. You can find the entire Star schedule in our "Documents" link. The Star is also in charge of bringing snacks for the class during his/her week. Please send nutritional snacks, which must be reduced fat or fat free and contain very little sugar. Our new nutritional standards require this for use in the classroom. Thank you for your participation!Back to Top
May I bring treats for my child's birthday?
Yes! Birthday treats are always welcome to help make your child's day special. Cupcakes, brownies, etc. must be store bought with the ingredients listed. Please follow the state nutrition standards. We have 14 students. Individual snacks are greatly appreciated. Please do not send in any red juice or soda. We will celebrate summer birthdays at the end of the school year. Note: Please use the student directory to send out birthday invitations. I will not pass out invitations unless everyone is included. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.Back to Top
What do I do with the book order that was sent home?
I will send home a new book order once a month. I will send home the new order once the previous order has been delievered. Book orders are a great way to build your child's own library. Each book order contains books at various reading levels. Please look for books that are at your child's reading level and/or books categories that your child is especially interested in.Back to Top
When does my child have P.E., music, art, library, computers
Monday - No specials Tuesday- Art Wednesday- Music Thursday- Computers Friday- P.E. (please have your child wear tennis shoes) Library (please have your child bring his/her book to return)Back to Top
We have show and tell every other Friday. I will remind students each Thursday about show and tell the following day. Show and tell is a time when studnets may bring any toy they would like to school. I really encourage the studnets to participate in show and tell, it builds self-confidence and gives the students a chance to learn more about each others interests.Back to Top
