How do I pay for my child's lunch?

You may set up an account and prepay for lunch with the cafeteria. You can 
also send money daily in a sealed envelope or ziploc bag labeled with your 
child's name. Please place the envelope/bag in your student's Daily Folder.
Teachers do not have access to lunch account information- you can contact 
the school cafeteria for more information.

Kindergarten students will be waiting with their teachers near the blue 
benches in the front circle drive.

What do I do if my child is leaving school a different way?

Please send a note in the daily folder or call the school office.  We cannot 
take your student's word and we cannot let your student go home differently 
without your permission.  Always advise your child's teacher of any changes 
in routine.

Is there a dress code for Kindergarten?

school handbook and district handbook given to each student the first week 
of school.

Does my child need a backpack?

Yes. Your child will be responsible for keeping up with a Daily Folder, 
books, and other materials. A backpack will help your student be organized.

Do you have nap time?

Due to rigorous academic requirements, we do not have a long traditional nap 
time in kindergarten.  In the beginning of the year students are allowed to 
have a short nap as they adjust to the Kindergarten day.  As students become 
more accustommed to the full day of school, classes often have only a short 
rest time, or teachers phase out rest time, to allow for more classroom 
instruction. In many classrooms this time becomes quiet reading time while 
the teacher is working with tutorial groups or guided reading groups.

How can I best prepare my student for a great day of school?

1. Set a bedtime and stick to it.  It is very important that your student be 
well rested. If your child is used to taking a long nap, the full day of 
school can be difficult.  At this age it is recommended that children have 
10 hours of sleep each night.
2. Make sure your child has had a healthy breakfast. Breakfast is served in 
our cafeteria at 7:15am.
3. Help your student arrive on time. Classroom instruction begins 
immediately.  Tardy students miss out on valuable learning time and disrupt 
classroom routines. Tardies are reported to the attendance office and 
recorded on your student's report card.
4. Help your child be prepared.  Your student needs to have his/her Daily 
Folder and backpack everyday.
