Snack
We have afternoon snack each day since we have lunch at 10:40. Please send a healthy, nut-free snack with your child daily.
Classroom Management
Our school uses the PBIS system. Students will earn STARbucks to “buy” prizes based on the level they end the day with! They can also earn Starbucks from any teacher throughout the day. The students will shop for a prize and/or enter their STARbucks in special gradewide raffles on designated days.
Homework
READ! READ! READ! I encourage you to read with your child every night. Reading and talking about stories with your child develops early literacy skills, enriches vocabulary, builds background knowledge, expands their imagination, and helps foster a positive attitude towards reading. Reading is FUN! There will be a reading incentive program to award students that meet the monthly goal from October to March.
SIGHT WORDS - Kindergarten is an exciting year when your children will begin to read on their own! A list of sight words will be sent home. These are meant to be saved, practiced, and used like flashcards. Books containing the Sight Words will be sent home weekly to read together. Occasional Family Projects will be sent home and are intended for you to have fun with as a family. The kids love to share what they created with you at home. Plenty of notice will be given so you can plan accordingly.
Child Pick Up
If you will be picking up your child from school please notify the school office or send a note before 2pm. When picking up your child the office staff asks that you wait in the hallway outside of the office for your child. You will need to sign them out.
Daily Attendance
