Classroom Policies • Birthdays: Per school rules and procedures, we are no longer allowed to pass out treats for birthdays. You may purchase ice cream for the class from the cafeteria. • Absence Notes: Any time your child has been absent, they must bring a note explaining their absence on the first day of their return to school. • Snacks: Healthy snacks can help boost a child's mental and physical skills. For this reason, we have snack every morning at approximately 9:15. The children will be eating as they work, so snack should be quick, clean and individually wrapped. A monthly calendar will go home letting you know when to send snacks. Some suggested healthy snacks are: • Crackers • Rice Cakes• String cheese• Mini-muffins• Raisins• Bagels • Pretzels• Fruit and/or vegetables• Granola bars• Cereal• Popcorn
Classroom Policies • Personal Items: No toys, games, radios, collectible cards, etc. I will send a note home if there is an occasion when this policy will change. • Transportation: Any changes in afternoon transportation must be sent to school in writing. This is school policy and transportation cannot be changed without written consent for the safety of the children. • Field Trips/Volunteers: Henry County requires Background Checks for all parent volunteers. If you think you want to go on any field trips or volunteer in the classroom, please see the office for a form as soon as possible!
Classroom Policies: Homework • READ ALOUD to your child for 20 minutes every night. As the year progresses, you should be able to share the read aloud responsibilities with your child. • If you are looking for good books for you and your child to read please go to Scholastic.com. HQ2K9 is our class code. Every dollar spent gives our class points that we can redeem for books for our class library! • PRACTICE SIGHT WORDS.
