Lunch Money: Please send lunch ticket money on Monday for the week ($7.75). Place money in an envelope with your child's name and teacher's name on the outside of the envelope and place in their BEARS notebook pouch. We prefer that children buy lunch tickets instead of bring money daily. If students do bring money daily, children are responsible for keeping up with their lunch money and change. No Lunch Money or Lunch Box: Children are not allowed to charge their lunch. They will be given a peanut-butter sandwich and milk. This is a school-wide policy. Please discuss importance of keeping up with lunch money. Snacks: Time will be provided in the morning for children to eat their snack. You may send a snack each day. We will only be drinking water during snack time which may be from the water fountain or brought from home. Please do not send juice boxes, they are high and sugar and can often be messy. We encourage you to send healthy snacks- please no candy, chocolate, or gum, etc. BEARS Notebook: PLease encourage your child to bring their BEARS notebook home every day. It is the parents' responsibility to check the notebook for behavior purposes each night. It is the child's responsibility to complete the homework and return the BEARS notebook each day. Please initial each days date on the calendar found in the notebook to show you have checked the notebook. Each day will have a colored stamp to indicate how your child is behaving at school. (Colors are explained on discipline plan.) Supplies: Students can purchase supplies from MJE bookstore or elsewhere. PLease label all tablets, school boxes, scissors, and glue bottles before seneding to school. Your child will need these supplies every day for activities in the classroom. Dismissal: Students riding buses will be taken out to the appropriate loading posts and first grade car riders will be brought out at 2:15 p.m. If your child is going home a way different than usual please send a note! We will not allow a student to go home an alternate way without a note from home or the office. In the event of snow, please let us know how your child is to get home by writing it on the front pocket of the daily folder. This is very helpful for us. Expectations: Our students are expected to respect all adults in our school and their authority while at school. Please encourage your child to always be and do their best.
