| Below, you will find pertinent information about kindergarten and school
procedures:
Parent/Teacher Communication:
Parents and teacher communication is so important for maxium school
success. If you need to contact me please feel free to send a note with
your child or call the school office and leave a message at 783-3537. you
can also email me at jthompson@milforded.org. I will get back to you as
soon as possible. Conference will be held in Novemeber. I will also be
available to conference with you regarding your child's progress or any
concerns you have by appointments either before school or after school.
Open House:
Thursday, September 20th at 6:30 in my classroom. At 7:00 Mr.
Madancy will give his presentation to parents in the gym.
Take Home Folder:
The Orange Avenue School PTA has provided each child with a folder. Your
child will use this to bring home notices, newsletters and class work.
Please check this folder every night and return it to school every day. Any
papers that need to be returned to us or to the school, lunch money, etc.
should be put in this folder.
Money:
Occasionally your child will need to bring money to school (for lunch, book
orders, book fair, field trips, etc.) When you send money to school please
place it in either a sealed envelope or a ziplock bag. Please include the
following on the front; Child's name, purpose (lunch), teacher's name and
room #.
Absences:
Daily attendance records are kept at school. Please call the school office
before school begins if your child will not be in 783-3537. Upon you
child's return, please send in a note explaining the absence. If a parent
knows in advanced that a child will be absent, a written note should be
presented prior to the absence. In all circumstances, a written note must
be submitted even if the absence has been explained over the phone. Please
refer to the Absentee Policy in your school handbook.
Change in transportation:
If there will be a change in how your child will be going home or a
different person picking your child up, you must send in a written note. If
I do not have a written note, I will send your child home by his/her usual
mode of transportation.
Dismissal:
Dismissal begins at 2:55. Kindergarten walkers will be picked up in the
front lobby. Children who ride the bus will be called and exit at the end
of our hallway.
Rest time:
Each day the children will have a 20 - 30 minute rest period. The childen
may use this time to nap or relax. Your child should have a towel or small
blanket and a small pillow if they desire. Rest towels will be sent home
each Friday. Please wash and return them to school on Monday.
Birthdays:
Birthdays are special occasions for young children. We are happy to
celebrte birthdays during our snack time. If you wish, you may send in a
special treat for your child's "Special Day." We will celebrate summer
birthdays at the end of the year.
Toys from Home:
Bringing toys from home is discouraged for many reasons. Toys may become
lost or broken and can be disruptive at times. Please remind your child to
leave their toys at home.
