When is homework due?

Homework is due the day after it has been assigned. Monday's 
homework is due 
Tuesday, Tuesday's homework is due Wednesday etc. The students 
will copy 
homework into their notebook each day. If the student forgets 
their notebook 
at home please see the "Homework" page on this webpage.

How do I notify the school of a transportation change?

Your child has a "usual" way of getting home from 
school each day even 
though the way they go home on Monday might be different than the 
way they 
go home on Tuesday.  When a change comes up in the 
"usual" way that they go 
home for that day, the request must be in writing.  Please use a 
full sheet 
of paper.  
The note should include the child's full name, teacher's name, 
date, what 
the change needs to be, as well as a parent's signature. The note 
should be 
given to the teacher to be forwarded to the office to document.  
Please 
remind/encourage your child to turn those notes in to the teacher 
in the 
morning. A note at 3:15 makes for a frantic dismisal.

What should my child do with their Buzz Bucks?

The Honey Hive is open during lunch recess on Thursdays for 
students to 
spend their Buzz Bucks.  These have been earned for following 
school rules 
and exhibiting positive behavior.  Many students like to keep 
these in 
a "Buzz Buck holder" which can be purchased from the 
school office.  Buzz 
Bucks cannot be replaced if they are lost or washed in a pocket.  
The colors 
change each nine weeks. Students need to spend the old color by 
the Thurday 
following the end of the 9 weeks.

When should we pay lunch money?

Lunch money should be paid weekly or monthly.  It should be sent 
in an 
envelope clearly marked with the student's full name, teacher's 
name, amount 
being paid and the child's lunch code number.  You do not need to 
identify 
breakfast money and lunch money.  Students are given a lunch menu 
at the 
beginning of the month and it is also posted on the Honey Island 
website.

Does my child need a snack each day?

The class is permitted to have a light snack each day. Students 
are not 
allowed to trade or share snacks except for birthday treats. You 
may also 
send a box drink or a water if you like. Please, no soda, or 
candy. Try to 
make it a healthy snack.

Can we send in treats for a child's birthday?

If your child would like to celebrate their birthday at school 
please 
contact me prior to the date.  You may send in a snack and 
napkins that can 
be shared at the end of the day.

What about book clubs?

I will send home book club forms at the beginning of the month.  
Please make 
your checks out directly to the book club. We recieve points 
toward 
classroom books and materials when you order and students enjoy 
receiving 
books in class.

What is the school's policy on visitors and volunteers?

We encourage parents and family members to visit our school and 
to be 
active.  All visitors  and volunteers need to sign in at the 
front ofice and 
wear an identificaion badge while on the campus.  This is a state 
law and 
will be enforced for your child's safety.  Please sign in using 
the 
volunteer book in the front office. The PTA logs volunteer hours 
which 
includes chaperoning field trips and helping out at class 
parties.  
Unexpected 
classroom visits and hall conferences are not allowed at our 
school.  If you 
need to see your child or need to drop something off, the ofice 
will send 
for the child.

What time should my child be at school?

Please try to have your child at school on time.  The bell rings 
for school 
to begin at 8:20, and students are counted as tardy if they 
arrive after 
8:30.  Instruction begins as students enter the classroom. 
Students can be 
brought to school starting at 7:50.

Can my child bring a water bottle to school?

Water bottles are permitted in my classroom. However, I require 
they have 
a "pop-top" on them. This prevents large spills on 
classroom supplies. If 
the student has a screw cap, they will not be permitted to use 
it. Please, 
water only.
