The children may enter the building at the 8:10 bell.  Children who are eating breakfast at school will be allowed to enter the building earlier, but must report directly to the gym. Once they finish eating they will be asked to return to their class line outside until the 8:10 bell rings.

School officially starts at 8:30 and our normal dismissal time is 3:10. Due to congestion in the halls, we ask that you wait for your child outside.

If there is a change in your child's after school routine, please send a DATED note in your child's DAISY'S Notebook and/or call the office to let us know how the child is to get home. Without this communication your child will be sent to his/her usual place.

You are welcome to send treats to celebrate your child's birthday.  If your child has a summer birthday, it may be celebrated at your convenience.

Please make sure treats are easy to hand out (pre-cut, individual servings or individually wrapped).

Please DO NOT send party invitations to school for distribution as it causes hurt feelings for those who do not receive them.

In mid-September your child will begin bringing books home each day in a book bag to read each night.  You will receive more information about this program at a later date.

Each month I will try to send book orders home with your child. You are not obligated to purchase books from these orders, but if you do decide to order, please return the form and the money in an envelop, labeled with your child's name. Checks should be written out to Scholastic.

Please make sure your child wears appropriate clothing (no skirts or dresses) on P.E. days in order to participate fully in the various activities  (Please check your child’s P.E. shoes before sending them to school to make sure their shoestrings are not extremely long.)

You are welcome to visit our classroom at any time, I do ask that you wait at least two weeks to allow us time to get our routine established.  A favorite thing some parents have done in past years was to come at 11:30 and stay for lunch.  We go to lunch at 11:35.  Please send a note or call the office a day or two in advance so we can notify the kitchen staff.

The beginning of a new school year can be exhausting.  Try to encourage your child positively and make sure he/she gets plenty of rest.  Review papers in the D.A.I.S.Y.'S. Notebook  each night and ask your child questions about the day.  Reading to your child is one of the best gifts you can give.  Try to set aside at least ten minutes each day to read together.
