Attendance-school starts at 8:00. Much of our learning will take place together in class. We do lots of hands-on activities and group work. Please plan to attend school every day, except in case of illness or emergency.
Book orders-just about once a month, a book order form will come home from Scholastic. This is a great way to purchase books inexpensively, while helping our class earn extra points towards other items! Birthdays-your child’s special day is important to us! If your child is having a birthday and you would like to send in a treat, you are more than welcome to do so! Please contact me in advance to make arrangements.
Communication-communication is the key to a successful parent-teacher relationship. Please feel free to contact me by e-mail or call me at school with questions or concerns at any time. You can also send a note in your child’s MONKEY folder.
Dismissal-school ends at 3:00. Please notify the office or me if your child is to go home a different way than his/her normal schedule.
Emergencies-please make sure we have the correct emergency numbers and information on file!
Field Trips-our class will be participating in field trips this year. If you would like to chaperone one of these trips, please let me know! Permission slips must be returned for your child to attend.
Gym-please make sure your child is dressed appropriately so he/she can participate in gym/P.E.
Homework-your child will have homework Mondays through Thursdays in their MONKEY folder. It will go home Monday night and needs to be returned Friday.
Important Information-if you have any important papers that need to come to school, please send them in the Banana Bag in your child’s MONKEY folder. The MONKEY folder should come to school every day!

Lunch-our lunch is from 12:00-12:40 Monday-Thursday and 12:45 on Fridays. Students will sign in every morning by placing their attendance stick in the cold or hot lunch jar. Silvergreens is our hot lunch provider, the school website has more information on how to order.

Quick and Quiet Hellos-if you volunteer in our classroom or school, I will urge your child to acknowledge you with a “quick and quiet” wave hello. It is important for them to greet you, but remain involved in class activities.
Reading-students are expected to read or be read to every night as part of their nightly homework.
Snazzy Snacks-about once a month we’ll practice our handwriting and math skills by making a tasty “Snazzy Snack”! You can sign up at Open House to provide ingredients for one snack.
Tardies-students should be at school by 8:00. Arriving after this time causes students to lose valuable instructional time.
