In the morning… • If you arrive to school before 7:50am, students must sit quietly in the cafeteria. • A student is considered tardy after 8:00 After 3:10… • Pick students up at the office.
Library • Children can check out books each week. Please make sure to send them back on your class Library day! • Library Time: Coming SOON! Computer Lab • We will be going to the computer once a week –Times to be determined
P.E. • If you child doesn’t wear tennis shoes to school, make sure they have a pair to change into for PE. • Make sure that girls wear shorts under skirts. • If your child needs to sit out at P.E., please send a note and we will get it to Mrs. Hampton.
Lunch • If you drop a lunch off for your child make sure it is here by 11:00. • You are more than welcome to come eat with your child at the parent tables. However, your child’s friends are not allowed to eat with you. • When you leave make sure you go out the front doors.
Tuesday and Behavior Folders • Tuesday Folders-Go home every Tuesday; please return on Wednesday. • Behavior folder (blue folder) Your child will color the date box with the color they ended on. If they are on Green, they had a great day. If they are on red, orange, or yellow I will send a note with what happened. Please initial these each night and bring back every day.
Red Reading Folders • Folders will go home on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. • Please have your child read their book at least 2x. • They will keep the same book for the entire week. • We do this to work on fluency and comprehension. • Extension Activities: write about what they read • We will begin this in October
Sight words • We will be learning over 100 sight words this year. The more words your child can (almost) instantly recognize, the more time their brain spends on making meaning in a text not just decoding words. Please practice these with your child daily. You can find them in our weekly newsletter and in his/her blue folder.
Coming Up… • We will start guided reading groups in October. • We are working very hard now to establish routines and work quietly so that guided reading will be possible. • This will help support their reading at home.
Why guided reading is important: • The goal is to support your child and help them learn to read with out frustrating them. • They will be able to move up levels when they are ready and will move in and out of groups. • We work on fluency, phrasing, inflection and reading for meaning (comprehension).
Conferences • We will have a conference with each parent starting in October. • If you would like to schedule a conference before then, our conference time is from 1:50-2:50 Monday, Thursday, and Friday or after school if needed. • You can call or email.
Report Card This year your child will have a numerical grade on their report card. You may access the grade book at any time to see what your child’s grade is. The report card grade will be an average for each subject but in the grade book you can see the specific grade for each assessment.
Temperature • Due to budget cuts our A/C will not go any lower than 72. Please dress with that in mind (but girls are not allowed to wear spaghetti strap shirts ) • Heater-Will not get any warmer than 68 degrees. Dress in layers!
Birthdays • You are welcome to bring a treat for your child’s birthday (if you want to). We will have the treats at 1:15. Please drop them off in the office by 12:00. Please no cake that needs to be cut. Cookies or individual treats are best!
BYOT • Be looking for a note from your teacher. • This a new area for Kinder and we may have some kinks to work out as we grow!

How ever if you don’t have a device (or do not want to send it with your kindergartener it is completely ok.) We have IPADS, computers, and a SMART board in the room to use.
