  10. This report will be kept in the classroom. Your child will receive a checkmark when a rule has been broken. A note will be written in the agenda for you to sign the day the rule has been broken. This report will be used to mark the behavior side of the report card. FIVE checks in the same area will result in an “N” on the report card for that same behavior.

  11.

  12. Dismissal Make sure your child knows how they are going home on the first day of school! We cannot dismiss students a new way without having it in writing. Make sure to write a note in your child’s agenda or call the office prior to 1:45 if there is a change! Don’t forget: Mondays – Early Release @ 1:15!

  13. Schedule 8:00 – 8:30 RtI*Monday - Specials • 8:30 – 10:30 Language Arts • 10:30 – 12:30 Math/Science 12:30 – 1:00 Lunch 1:00 – 1:30 Specials/Teacher PE 1:30 – 2:00 Specials/Teacher PE 2:15 Dismissal *AGP with Mrs. Miller 10:30 – 12:30 *Remember to wear closed-toed shoes every day – that are appropriate for running and playing. The students will be outside everyday, whether they are at PE with Coach or at Teacher PE with us. If your child is wearing the wrong shoes, they will have to bring a book and sit out.

  14. Birthdays and Lunch Policies Birthday celebrations can happen in the classroom. Parents may choose to send in a breakfast type treat (doughnuts, cinnamon rolls) at 7:30 or a quick treat (cookies, mini cupcakes) around 1:45. This must be pre-arranged with the teacher. Please keep in mind we do have food allergies; only store-bought products that do not contain nuts will be allowed. Food brought in from outside sources (ie. McDonalds, etc.) cannot be brought into the cafeteria due to food allergies. Please eat it out on the picnic tables.

  15. Snacks Since our lunch is late this year we are providing students with the opportunity to bring a small, healthy snack to enjoy mid-morning (around 10:30) to hold them over. Please make sure that snacks are healthy and mess-free! Think about using a snack-size ziploc bag and filling it with goldfish, cheez-its, grapes, pretzels, etc… Again, please keep in mind we have food allergies so do not pack anything that contains peanuts. Please read the labels – you would be very surprised what snacks do indeed contain peanuts!
