What do I do if my child is absent?

Please call the office and ask for your child's work.  I will have it in the
office at 3:00.  This will help keep your child from falling behind.  Realize
that sometimes it is not possible to do some of the things at home that are
done in class.  Please make every effort to have your child at school each 
dayunless he/she is truly sick.  Those children that attend school regularly 
tend to do better.

Is it ok to send in birthday treats?

If you would like to send in treats such as cupcakes, popsicles, or another 
ready to eat snack that wouldbe fine.  Please send in the treat first thing 
in the morning.  We will find a time during the schoolday to celebrate.

Is it ok to bring a daily snack?

Of course!:) Snacks are not mandatory, but I encourage you to send a
nutritional snack.  Students should not bring candy.  It's fine to send in a
bottle of water with your student.

Should I check my child's math homework?

Yes.  Please check and intial that you have checked over it.  You will know 
if your child needs some extra help grasping the concept.  Remember  to work 
with learning math facts several times each week.  Expect math homework 
Monday-Thursday.

What are Monday Folders?

This folder will contain the work that your child completed the previous 
week.  It is an excellent idea to review this work with your child 
especially if many mistakes were made.  Show a genuine interest in your
child's work.  Remember to sign and return any paper with a grade of N or U. 
These folders should come back signed the following schoolday.
