When can I eat lunch with my child?

The Pit Crew loves for their parents to eat with them. You are 
invited to eat lunch with your child anytime. We go to lunch each 
day at 11:00.  Just be sure to sign in at the office first.

Can we celebrate my child's birthday at school?

Yes-- the Pit Crew loves birthdays.  You are invited to come 
during snack time that day and pass our birthday treats.  Please 
just make sure to let me know, so I can make sure we get up from 
our nap in plenty of time.

children.

What should I send for snack?

Some suggestions that the children really seem to love are: 
Little Debbies, Snack Crackers, Rice Krispy Treats, Cereal Bars, 
Ice Cream Sandwiches, Pop Tarts, Cookies, fruit, etc.  Please NO 
Candy!  If you send juice please make sure it is juice boxes or 
pouches ( Capri Sun, Hi-C, Juicy Juice, etc).  
Please No snacks that contain peanuts-- we have a crew member 
that has a peanut allergy.

What if I forget my child's snack day?

I usually keep extra snacks for us to use in a pinch.  Please 
just send a snack as soon as possible to replace the snack used.

What if my child forgets their folder?

No problem, just have them bring it the next day.

My child won't be going home the usual way. What should I do?

I will send your child home the same way each day
(bus,carpool,walk,daycare) UNLESS I receive a note or you call 
the office by 2:00PM that day to notify me of the change.  Please 
do not wait until 2:55 to call the office; things get pretty 
hectic in the office around 2:30 and I CANNOT assure you I will 
get the message in time.  Thanks for helping me keep our children 
safe and secure.

My child has been sick. When can he/she return to school?

Please keep your child at home until he/ she has been fever free 
for 24 hours.  Also, if your child has been throwing up during 
the night or morning please do not send them to school.  This 
will help keep everyone as well as possible.

What can I do if I really need to discuss a matter with Ms. Thomas?

Please either send me a note in your child's folder, e-mail thru 
our website, or call my classroom at 364-4870 and leave a voice 
mail.  I promise to get back in touch with you as soon as 
possible.  My planning time is from 12:30-1:05.
