What can I do to help my child?

Help your child establish a routine.  Empty your child's backpack nightly, reading through the 
agenda message and any papers that have been sent home.  Have a set location where 
important school papers are kept.  Have your child work on nightly reading and a small portion 
of the homework packet nightly.  Check homework and help your child practice and correct 
anything he/she missed.  Initial the reading envelope, reading log, and math facts envelope nightly.  
Write a note in the agenda or email the teacher if your have questions.  Be sure your child tells the 
teacher if he/she has an important note that needs to be read.  Read, read, read with your child every 
night.

What is the agenda planner?

The agenda planner is provided by the PTO, and a small donation is requested of parents to help 
defray the costs.  It is a great tool for home-school communication.  In first grade, students 
write a nightly message to help parents be aware of what is going on at school.  Parents can also 
write notes back to the teacher as long as the child lets the teacher know there is something she 
needs to read that day.  In grades 3-6, the agenda planner is more detailed and is used as a 
homework planner.  It is important for students and parents to get in the habit of reading the 
agenda planner nightly.

Where should I drop off and pick up my child?

There are drop off points at all of the green gates around the school.  The side of the street 
closest to the school is for drop-off only (no parking) as is the parking lot nearest to CDI.  You 
may drop off your child after 7:45 and have him/her go to the playground, where there is 
supervision.  On rainy days, supervision is in the multi-purpose room.  If you wish to accompany 
your child, please park in the lot or on the side of the street opposite the school and 
use the crosswalks.  The first bell rings at 7:55.  School begins at 8 a.m. when the second bell rings. 
Teachers pick up classes at their assigned spot on the playground between these times.  Our class 
waits at the first star on the left when facing the grass.  If your child arrives after 8 a.m., please have 
him/her go through the office to get a late slip before coming to class.  Teachers share before and 
after school crosswalk and yard supervision duties.  On weeks I have duty, I will leave a note outside 
my classroom door.

School ends at 2:20 on regular days and 12:30 on minimum days (including all track change 
days).  Parents are welcome to wait outside of the classroom to pick up children.  Please be sure 
your child and teacher know who is picking your child up and where.  Be aware that I do have 
after-school duty some weeks, so I will not be able to wait with your child on these days.

How can I contact you?

I welcome all questions and concerns.  Please call me outside of school hours at 683-7445, send 
me an e-mail at krebhan@egusd.net, or jot me a note in the agenda or on a separate piece of 
paper.  I am always happy to set up an appointment or meet with you if I do not have crosswalk 
duty or a meeting.
