Please mark your calendars.
End of the Day Pick-Up
Student pick-up at the end of
the day is in the elementary cafeteria.
Backpack
All students will need a
backpack large enough to hold books and papers.
The students should plan on carrying this bag to school every day all
year long.
Home-School Folder
Please have your child bring
one plastic or vinyl-coated pocket folder to school at the beginning of the
year. (This was on the back-to-school
supply list.) We will be using this
every day to carry our important work papers home for you to see. Please make a practice of checking this
folder every night and going over your child’s papers with him/her. Then have your child put the folder in
his/her backpack to make sure it gets back to school the following morning.
Recess
When the weather permits, we
have outside recess. All children are
expected to play outside unless there is a note from a doctor. Please make sure your child has clothing that
is appropriate for outdoor recess.
Note Policy
A
note from a parent or guardian is always required in the following situations:
1.
Your child is
riding a different bus at the end of the day.
2.
Your child is
being picked up after school by someone
other than a parent.
3.
Your child is
leaving before our regular dismissal time.
4.
When a child
leaves early he/she must also be signed out
at the elementary office.
5.
If your child
is absent due to illness or other reason,
a note is appreciated.
Water Bottle
Your child may bring a water
bottle to school. It is to be plain water only-no flavored or
colored water. Please only send bottles
that have a non-spill, flip top. No screw off tops, please.
Snack
Students will have an
opportunity for a short snack break in the afternoon. Please send healthy snacks only (cereal, crackers, fruits, veggies,
etc.).
