Welcome!



Families,

Just a few things to get you started on the first day of school.

School Drop Off & Pick Up
We will meet students on the blacktop at the east end . Students will be picked up at this same location when the bells rings at 3:45. Any students not picked by 4:00 will be walked to the office to call home.

Breakfast
A free breakfast is served every day in the cafeteria beginning at 8:40am. Please know that playground duty does not start until 8:45am, and there is no adult supervision prior to this time.

Kiss and Go Morning  
To foster independence and build a strong community, we have a kiss and go policy on the blacktop in the mornings. Parents will not be permitted to walk their child to the classroom, with an exception being made the first day of school. Parents may come to the classroom on the first day for 15 minutes to take pictures. After 15 minutes has passed, parents will be asked to leave and implement Kiss and Go Mornings for the remainder of the year.

Parents are not permitted to wait outside your child's classroom for any reason during the school year. Please be respectful and mindful that teachers are preparing for the day, attending morning staff meetings, or having private meetings with parents. 

Tardy Bell
The first bell rings at 8:55. The tardy bell will then ring at 9:00. Please make sure your child is on time to ensure they are able to participate in our daily community circle. This is a VERY important part of our day.


Water Bottles
Each student should have a water bottle that is kept in the classroom throughout the week. Water bottles will be sent home every Friday to be cleaned and should return to school on Monday. Please make sure it is labeled with your child's name. 
If your child needs a water bottle in their lunch, please, pack a separate water bottle in their lunch. This way, they will not need to come back to the classroom for their water bottle before lunch.


Snack
We have several allergies in our classrooms this year, so we will not participate in shared snacks. 
If you would like your child to have a snack during extra recess, please do so by sending it in a small container in their lunch box or backpack. They will pull it out in the morning to place in our snack bin as part of their morning routine. Snacks should be healthy and easy for students to grab and go during recess. 


We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Warm regards,

Mrs. B and Ms. Hernandez
