 Do students have to wear tennis shoes?
There is not a rule about shoes but we feel tennis shoes are the most 
appropriate shoes for our children. They help us to keep them safe. The 
students are less likely to trip or fall during play, recess, and PE. They 
don't struggle to keep them on as they climb steps and play equipment.When 
students go into the new gym, tennis shoes are required on the new floor.

 Can students have a rolling bookbag?
No. Our school has a rule that prohibits the rolling bags. They are a safety 
hazard for our students. They get tripped up in the wheels and cause falling 
hazards.

 What time does school start?
Students are tardy at 8:00. They should be in the room and ready to start at 
8:00. In our class, we are on the carpet ready to begin when the pledge 
starts at 8:00. Students should have made a lunch choice, signed in, 
unpacked the bookbag, exchanged books, and had the Homework Folder 
checked.This routine takes about 5-10 minutes. Students entering late have 
to do this during Plan, Do, Review. I would like all students in the room by 
7:50.

 Will my child learn to read in Kindergarten?
YES! They will bring home "leveled readers" to read to you. All kindergarten 
students should be reading on at least Level 3 by the end of the year.

 What do kindergarten students learn in Math?
Kindergarten students learn to count, tell time, recognize money, measure, 
join sets, take away sets, graph, and lots more. Go to the SC Dept. of 
Education website for a complete list of the Kindergarten standards. I have 
a link on this website. Check it out.
