What are school hours?

Students should be in the building by 8:45 A.M. instruction 
begins at 9:00 A.M.  From 8:45 - 9:00 students prepare for the 
day by writing in the Agenda, submitting homework, sharpening 
pencils, ect. Our math class starts promptly at 9:00.  Students 
who are late are losing on out on lessons and disrupt the learing 
of the other students in the room.
Bus students are dismissed at 2:50.
Students are dismissed at 3:00.

What should I do if my child is absent?

Please call school, 233-6822, to let us know.  Send in a note 
with your child when he/she returns.  I will have a folder of all 
the work that your child missed.  If your child will be out for 
an extended period of time, call school to make arrangements for 
work to be picked up or sent home with a friend/neighbor.

What should I do if my child needs medication during school?

All medication must be brought in to the nurse in a prescription 
bottle with a note from the doctor.  No student can take 
medication without going to the nurse.  This includes cough drops.

Lunch is from 12:00-12:30.  Lunch is $1.25 per student.  Free and 
reduced lunch is offered to students who qualify.  Families need 
to complete applications.  Call the office or let me know if you 
need the forms.

Do you have snack?

We will NOT be having snack at school. Please be sure that your 
child has a good,healthy breakfast every morning.  I do encourage 
students to bring in water bottles.  I prefer the snap top (push 
up to open & down to close) bottles, as they don't spill as much.

Do 4th graders use Agendas?

Of course!!!  First thing each morning, students will write the 
assignments in the Agenda. I will OK every morning and I have 
parents sign each night.  This is a great place for you to 
communicate with me.
At the first parent-teacher conferences, we will discuss the need 
to sign/check daily.

Can I send in treats for my child's birthday?

Yes!!!  Treats are always welcome.  Please give me a day or two 
notice, because I like to make sure that there is time to have 
the party!  The district has adopted a policy that all baked 
goods must be commercially prepared.  No homemade treats may be 
brought in to school.  Also sometimes students have food 
allergies and I need to be sure that the food sent in is ok for 
everyone.
