FAQFrequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What time does my child need to be at school? The first bell rings at 7:45 A.M.( It is important that your child arrives on time, because Mrs.Tina needs a lunch count for the day). We start out with prayer, pledge, calendar, and show and tell. Breakfast is served every morning from 7:15-7:40 in the cafeteria. It is your choice whether your child will eat breakfast at school or at home. The children have 2 snacks each day. Our morning snack is usually around 8:30. It is not meant to take the place of breakfast. The teacher purchases this snack with your supply money. We usually have some type of fruit, crackers, and milk or juice. Lunch time is at 10:30. After naptime, we have our afternoon snack.You will be assigned approximately two weeks during the year to bring this. We will send home a snack calendar at thebeginning of each month.Post this on your refrigerator to help you remember your snack date. Yes, however,if your child is going home a different way, you must send a note. We will not let a child just tell us they need to go home with a friend. The children will bring home their work daily in their folder. The child's homework is to show you each page and explain it to you. Let your child know how proud you are of his hard work by praising him and displaying his papers. When we start learning how to write our letters, your child will have practice work to complete at home. Be sure this practice does not exceed 10-15 minutes each day. We lay down everyday after lunch (11:30-1:00). We cannot make them sleep, but we do require them to rest quitely. Please send a regular sized towel. We keep these inside our desks. If you send a beach towel, your child will not have room for other supplies he needs during the day. Nap towels are sent home every Friday to be washed. The children are not allowed to bring small toys from home to play with at recess. It is not necessary. We have plenty of balls, jump ropes and other outside equipment. Please don't let children bring any real money or coins to school. This always seems to cause a problem. Can we send medicines to school? If your child needs medicine during the day, you must come to school to give it to him. We are not allowed to dispense medicines anymore unless it is a medication that must be taken on a daily basis. In this case a form obtained from the office should be completed by the physician and remain on file in the school office. Medicines are then dispensed in the office. When do we go to Library, P.E., and Music? We go to Music every Tuesday morning from 8:30-9:00, Library every Thursday afternoon from 2:00 to 2:30, and PE every Monday from 1:50 to 2:10 and Wednesday morning from 8:00 to 8:25. We will also have Spanish on Tuesday mornings from 11:35-12:00. Our morning recess is from 9:15 to 9:30; lunch recess is from 11:00to 11:25; and our afternoon break is at 1:30. Can we have a birthday party at school? Each child will have the opportunity to celebrate their "special" day.Your child's day will be assigned on the monthly snack calendar. They may bring cupcakes,cookie cakes,a favorite treat of theirs, etc. Most parents do not attend the party. We will celebrate with them after nap. Do you have any more questions?
