Blue Day- P.E. (be sure to wear sneakers!)

ABSENCES
Absences: If your child is absent, please call the school at 980 3433810. You can also email me. Please send in a note the next day about
why your child was absent.
Sickness: Please keep your child home if they are sick. If your child has a
fever or vomits, they are not allowed back at school for 24 hours.
Vaccinations/Physicals: All Kindergarten students must have their health
information up to date. They may attend school the first 30 days. If your
child is missing a physical or shots after the 30th day, they will not be
allowed to attend school until all the paperwork is turned in.
MISCELLANEOUS
Lunch: Our daily lunch time is 11:40-12:05. We sit at table 5 in the main
cafeteria.
Snack: Please either send in a snack for the class to share or send a snack
in with your child. This may be animals crackers, goldfish, etc. The students
get hungry at the end of the day!
Birthdays: We have a very tight schedule during the day, but we would
always love to celebrate a friend’s birthday! We have recess TuesdayFriday from 1:45-2:15. This is the only time for you to bring in store
bought cupcakes Please feel free to bring in cupcakes during that time so
we may celebrate your child’s birthday. If you plan to bring in cupcakes,
please arrange it with me prior.
MISCELLANEOUS CONTINUED
Conferences: Our main conference will be at the end of October. If
you would like to speak with me about your child, please schedule a
time to meet or speak with me. I am not permitted to have a
conference with you during instructional time.
Dismissal: If you need to change the normal way your child is going
home, you must either call the office or send in a note. If neither is
done, the student will go home as they normally would. This is a safety
issue and many times the students will say they are going home a
different way when they should be going home the normal way.
Also, if your child is a bus rider, please know that the bus can drop off
the student whether an adult is there or not.
Extra Clothes: Accidents happen! Please send in an extra set of
clothes in a bag- a pair of pants, a shirt, underwear, and socks.
