Arrival and Dismissal

The school day begins at 8:00 and dismissal begins at 3:00.  Children should 
not arrive at school prior to 7:45. Children who arrive to school before 
7:45 go to the gym with the other students, monitored by a teacher.  At 7:55 
students are dismissed to their classrooms.  Students not in the room by 
8:15 are tardy. I begin my Reading program right at 8:00, so it is very 
important for your child's reading success that they arrive on time.

Transportation Changes

Any changes in transportation need to be in writing to the teacher that 
morning.

School Attendance

Your child's regular attendance is crucial to his or her success in school.  
We do many activities that are group oriented, and a day of absence or 
tardiness may mean your child will miss out on concepts and experiences 
learned that cannot easily be duplicated.  Please help me by making it a 
priority to get your child here except in cases of illness.  THANK YOU!  I 
don't want your child missing out.

Volunteers and Visitors

Volunteers and visitors are always welcome!  If you're planning on visiting, 
please send a note to let me know ahead of time.  Volunteers are a much-
needed valuable asset to our program!  Let me know if you would like to help 
in any way including, but not limited to:  copying, bulletin boards, buddy 
read, website work, making manipulatives, science experiments,etc.  As 
always, check in at the office first.

Absence Notes

Please send an absence note to me the next day so your child's absence will 
be recorded as excused.

Birthdays

It's always fun to have a birthday!  You or your child may bring a treat for 
the whole class on his or her birthday.  Treats will be taken to the lunch 
room to be shared with the class the last 10 minutes of lunch break.  Please 
do not send birthday invitations to be handed out to individual people as 
this causes hurt feelings.  Invitations may be sent if including all boys or 
all girls.
