What if my child has a transportation change?

For the safety of your child, if there is a change in transportation, I must 
have it in writing WITH YOUR SIGNATURE AND THE DATE. You can either send the 
note in with your child or fax it to the school office. I can not make any 
exceptions to this rule.

Will my child eat snack during the day?

Yes, we will break for 10 minutes each day to eat snack. You will need to 
send in a healthy snack with your child each day. I will have a 
community snack box in which the children may choose from in the event they 
forget their snack. When the supply is running low, I will send a note home 
asking for donations.

May I send in a treat for my child's birthday?

Yes! Birthdays are very important to young children and we will celebrate 
this special day for each child. If you would like to send a treat in, please 
do! If you are having a party outside of school, please do not send 
invitations into school unless there is one for each child. Feelings get hurt 
easily at this young of an age as I'm sure you know. Thank you for 
understanding.

How will you communicate with me?

I will be sending home a class newsletter every week. It will highlight 
classroom activities, plans for the following week, and any important news 
and notes. You can also check this website for information or my blog and of 
course you are always welcome to send me a note or call me at any time and 
leave a voicemail.

Will you have outdoor recess each day?

Yes, with weather permitting of course. On days of inclement weather, we will 
have indoor recess. There are days we may have to take recess in the morning 
when it is a bit chilly so please dress your child accordingly.

Do you need parent volunteers?

YES YES YES! There are many days that the "Volunteer Box" is overflowing with 
work! Please peek by our classroom door to see it. In the case of special 
events and field trips, I will send home a letter or email requesting 
volunteers.

Your support in the classroom is very appreciated!!

How should I send money into the school?

Please ensure all money is sent to school in a sealed envelope. On the front 
clearly print:

1. Your child's first and last name
2. My name
3. What the money is for (ASP, lunch, book order, etc...)
4. The amount enclosed

All money (except for lunch money) goes in the black drop boxes located 
around the school. Lunch money is to be placed in the safe that is in the 
cafeteria.

Teachers are not allowed to handle any student money. It will be the 
responsibility of the child to place it in the boxes. Please send the 
envelope to school in the "Money Pocket" of your child's F.R.O.G. Binder and 
I will instruct them on where to put it.

What if my child needs to take medication during the school day?

All medicine must be dispensed by the school nurse. Please bring it into the 
front office in the original container. You will also need to fill out a 
permission form that can be picked up in the office. Send in a note (in your 
child's F.R.O.G. Binder with the dosage and times and I will send your child 
to the clinic at the appropriate times.
