Can my child bring toys to school?

We recommend that your child does not bring his/her toys to school as they 
often get lost or often get broken and then we have sad children.  There are 
many toys at school for inside and outside play and we strongly urge that 
toys stay safe at home !!

What should my child wear for gym?

 Tuesday is our gym day. It is important for your child to wear sneakers and 
comfortable clothing that he/she can move freely in...i.e. sweatpants, pants, 
jerseys .  Dresses are not recommendeed on this day as phys Ed . requires the 
child to run,jump, roll etc.  The children do occasionally go outside for gym 
so please dress appropriately.

The cafeteria will send you a notice when your child's account becomes 
delinquent and you will need to send in more money to the cafeteria .

What if my child comes home without an article of clothing?

 We usually check the children's hooks at the end of each day but sometimes 
clothing gets put down and left behind...check with the teacher and also 
check in the Lost and Found Barrel near the front office...if your child 
takes the bus  you may also want to check with the busdriver.

When do South School Library books need to be returned?

The children are allowed to keep the book for one week...returning them 
before Tuesday of the following week. ...some children do return them before 
then and I do have a basket for early returns in our classroom.
 If they do not return their book each week they cannot take out another book.

Do the children REST every day?

Each day in our classroom schedule there is a built in time for REST...we 
call it Brain growth time or Quiet Time...the children have individual mats 
that they rest on...some days it's actual QUIET/REST time (wishful thinking 
on my part) other days its quiet time where they are on mats but may have a 
book to read/look at and just rest their brains!!!
