Here are a few answers to the questions I get asked most ...
Can I volunteer in my child's class?
Yes. I am always in need of an extra hand and welcome the opportunity to work with you. My desire is to create a classroom welcoming to parents and students. Just send me a note or give me a call to let me know when you would like to come to our classroom. Remember ... you must always check in with the front office first.Back to Top

Can I eat lunch with my child?
Yes. You are welcome to eat with your child any time. Again, just make sure that you check in the office first and just meet your child in the lunchroom.Back to Top

Will my child have a snack time? What about a bottled water during class?
We will have snack on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The children will be able to purchase snacks from the concessions or vending machines. They can also bring their own from home - remember we promote healthy snacks. I encourage my students to drink lots of water for their health. They are allowed to keep a water bottle (only water) at their desks at all times.Back to Top

What is your policy on making up work due to an absence?
If a child is absent I like to make sure that work is sent home that evening to keep them on track. All missed work will be due three days after returning to school. I will need a name of someone that will be responsible for picking up your child's work when they are absent. I understand that children get sick and that days missed are necessary at times but your cooperation in this matter will insure that your child does not get behind.Back to Top

What about homework?
I do not like to send home nightly homework. I want the children to be able to "be children" when they get home and enjoy the family. In an effort to value your family time I will try to send homework that you will enjoy doing with your child - something fun to reinforce a skill we are learning. I will only do this occasionally, and not on a regular basis. However, the children are expected to complete their work on a daily basis. If your child is having trouble finishing, his/her work may be sent home to complete so that it is not late. Any unfinished work or homework will be in your child's nightly folder.Back to Top

How will I know what is going on in my child's class?
I send home a weekly news letter to let you know what is coming up. This news letter will be in your child's weekly folder. You will need to sign this folder so that I know you received it. I may also send home letters with any unexpected or unusual happenings in their nightly folder (this is were any homework will be as well). It is very important for you to check your child's folder each night - so that you get any information that might be in there.Back to Top
