Do students get to eat a snack?

We usually have snack at about 10:10.  We have lunch from 11:35 -
12:00.  Even though lunch is relatively early, it is still 
important for them to eat a good breakfast and a HEALTHY snack.  
Please send your child in with a HEALTHY snack every day.  No 
drinks please.  Students are allowed to keep a water bottle on 
their desk at all times - unless it becomes a distraction.  If 
your child forgets snack, we have extra snacks in the classroom, 
however, these are only for those times when snack is forgotten, 
not every day.   Thank you for your understanding.

Does my child need anything for school?

Each child received a supply list of items needed for school.  
If you need another copy, just let me know.  Generally, children 
need a continuing supply of pencils and glue sticks.  Check with 
your child to see if their crayons or markers need replacing.

How can I best help my child be successful in school?

The best way for you to help your child is to make sure they get 
plenty of sleep and eat a good breakfast.  Providing a healthy 
snack will help him/her maintain their focus all morning in 
class.  Encourage your child to always try to do their best work 
and ask questions if they are confused.
