Routines & Procedures
Water Bottles
I do allow students to bring water bottles to class. Water only please. I will ask them to take it home daily to be washed.
Birthdays
PLEASE NOTE that food is not permitted in regulation with the School Wellness Policy. However, you can send in pencils, stickers, a classroom library book or inside recess game dedicated to your child, bookmarks, etc. I realize it is hard to include everyone in your child’s class in a birthday party, but as a teacher, I need to protect the feelings of those who have not been invited. When invitations are presented to only a few in school, the others are hurt by the exclusion. If you are planning a birthday party for your child outside of school and are not able to invite everyone in our class, please mail the invitations to your child’s classmates. Having said that, I don't mind your child handing invitations out if everyone is included. Thank you for your cooperation!
Attendance and Absences
A successful school experience is the responsibility of the child, the parent, and the school. Your child’s progress, both academically and socially, is influenced to a great extent by daily participation. Regular attendance without tardiness is key. If your child is sick or has an appointment, please call the office (or email [email protected]) and let us know why your child is not in school. Then send in a note the next day (note is not necessary if you email). In the note, please include your child’s first and last name, reason and date of absence.
Missed Work
If your child is absent and you want classwork/homework sent home with a sibling or another student in the building, please let me know. I will do my best to give the materials to the student you designate or leave them at the front office. Please be sure to return the work as well as the folder it is sent home in. Otherwise, the work will be made up or sent home on the returning day. Also, if you are planning a trip and would like work to take work with you please just let me know in advance. Thank you for your cooperation!
School Hours
School begins at 8:40 a.m. and dismissal begins at 3:27 p.m. Children arriving after 8:50 are marked tardy. Please stop in at the office to sign your child into school if you arrive after then. Thank you for your cooperation!
Dismissal
If your child is going home a different way than his/her normal routine, please send in a note (or email [email protected]) stating this at the beginning of the day. Do not email me as I may not see it before the end of the day. Contact the office directly please.
Please refer to the Student Handbook on the district web site for additional information.

Volunteer Manual
Your support of school activities makes your child feel important and sends the message that you value school. I am always happy to have your help for special activities in the classroom & will be asking for volunteers at various points in the year. Please be sure to arrive on time. For the safety of all students, it is asked that anyone entering the school go directly to the office, sign in, and wear a visitor’s badge. Thank you for your cooperation!
