Attendance
It
is essential that students attend school each day to benefit from our carefully
planned learning program. Please make
every attempt to be on time for school each day. If your child is feeling ill or has a fever, we
kindly request that you please keep him/her home from school. If your child will be absent, please call the
school absentee line and leave a message.
**If you are
late, please go to the office to sign in.
Please do not knock on the classroom window or side door as it disturbs
the children’s learning.**
Class
Schedule
PE
Days:
Our PE days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
We will also have DPA (Daily Physical Activity) everyday.
Library
Days:
Our Library day is Monday. Please be
sure that your child takes care of and returns his/her books on time.
Homework
Home
Reading Program:
Students will be participating in a home reading program where they will bring
home a book each day to read with you.
Please read with your child and date and sign the reading record in
their Home Reading duotang.
Word
Work:
In addition to home reading, students will have a weekly set of words that they
will be studying for the week. They will
be tested on some of these words at the end of the week. Please do not have your child memorize the
list. Please focus on letter sounds and
patterns. Weekly word lists will be
available on the classroom blog.
Back and Forth
Bags:
Your child will be given a
Back and Forth Bag (a labeled Ziploc bag) to transport their planner, notices,
permission slips, and Home Reading duotang.
Please check the bag each evening and return it in the morning. Please make sure to sign the planner and
read and respond to any notes.
Food and
Allergies
We
encourage our students to eat healthy snacks and lunches at school. Fruits and vegetables are good choices to
send to school. Please send your child
with the appropriate cutlery (e.g. spoon, fork). Please send a water bottle to
school with your child each day. Please
be aware that we have nut allergies in our school. Nuts/nut butter are not permitted at school.
