Important Information
*We’ve had a great start to the school year! I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work with your children!
*Please make sure to check your child’s take-home folder every night and discuss what we are working on in school. You may keep the completed work that comes home. Promptly return any paperwork. Also make sure to read and sign your child’s planner nightly.
*Be sure to send a healthy snack and bottle of water each day for snack time.
*School begins promptly at 7:50am each day. The children have many morning responsibilities to take care of in order to be fully prepared for the school day. That being said, please make sure your child arrives in plenty of time to take care of these tasks. I strongly encourage you to have your child eat breakfast at home. Students who eat breakfast in the cafeteria have 5 minutes or less to take care of their morning jobs which often leads to a rocky start to their day.
