Book
Bags
1. A large bookbag is needed for each student in order fo them
to transport notes, important papers, library books, jackets, and a towel for
rest time.
2. If at all possible, please select a bookbag without wheels.
It has been found that little ones have difficulty maneuvering these types of
bookbags.
3. Place an emergancy change of clothes in a large baggy and I
will store at school until needed.
Daily
Folder
* The daily folder is very important. I will send papers, correspondence, and
school information home
in the folder. Hence, you will send any notes, moneys, etc. in the folder for
me. I will not have time to
go through every student's bookbag, so please put everything in the folder.
Money
1. All monies are collected separatly from each other. Lunch, ASP, PTSA, etc.
are collected in separate envelopes.
2. All monies need to be in an envelope, labeled with your child's
first and last name, teacher's name, the place the
money needs to go; such as lunch, ASP, etc.
3. You may pay for lunch on-line. Don't forget about extras. Please determine
if and when your child can purchase extra items like ice cream, cookies, etc.
There is a form on the school web page explaining lunch prices and a form for
extra purchases.
Medicine
1. All medications should be dropped off by the Parent. A Parent signature is
required for the clinic to dispense. Please include dosage, time
given and any other information.
2. The clinic is responsible for the form and dispensing of medication.
3. Law requires that the meds be kept in their original container.
Transportation
1. This is VERY important. Please send in a dated and signed note if
there are any afternoon transportation
changes. If there is a change in afternoon transportation, fax or call the
office as soon as you know. They will
inform me. It is extremely important that you send a note (or
contact the office) for any changes, otherwise your
child will be sent home the regular way. Notes work well, however consistency
works the best.
2. To pick up your child early, go to the office. They will call for your
child. This helps limit interruptions in our
intructional day.
3. Make sure that you print, fill out and return the student information on
the first day of school. Thanks.
ASP
Registering for the After School Program, ASP is a great way to feel secure if
there is ever an emergency.
Registration fee for ASP is $10.00. The daily rate is $7.00. Only registered
students may stay in ASP.
Snacks
1. Each day your child may bring in their own snack. Snack will not be
provided for students. Snacks should
not be shared with others. This helps with allergies, likes and dislikes of
snacks, etc.
2. Water bottles need to be labeled with your child's name as to avoid
confusion.
3. Any food allergies need to be reported on the Classroom Information Form(on
Sneak-a-Peek form.)
4. Treats are always welcome. Birthday treats will be passed out during lunch.
School Hours
7:50-2:24
The PTSA on-line newsletter will inform you about Early Release hours (2 hours
early.)
Also the newsletters let you know many upcoming events. We have such a
wonderful PTSA!
Rest Time
Please send in a towel for rest time and I'll store them at school. When they
are sent home, please wash and return.
Discipline
Reports
Reports will be sent home daily.
Volunteers
Volunteers
are welcome! You help make a difference in your child's view of the importance
of learning.
Please
let me know when you can help out. I'd like to plan a consistent day and time
for you to help with making a center game, making copies, reading individually
with students, cutting items at home, etc.
Volunteers
are extremely appreciated!

Thanks to all of the parents that have
volunteered to help make our year successful. If you have not been contacted

I'm scheduling a meeting with our class Room

however we are going to plan tentative dates/activities for the school year.
We are open to suggestions and assistance with this task. Just send me the

As soon as the class directory is compiled, you
