The questions and answers below are commonly asked during the year.
I encourage and welcome parents to visit their child's classroom. You are welcome to eat lunch, or come visit our classroom. If you are visiting the classroom, please stop by the office to sign in and get a visitors tag. If you plan to eat lunch, please send a note so that we can prepare extra lunches. This year (2007-08) our lunch time is 11:45.
The price for the lunch is $3.00 and you may invite others to visit or eat. Please let me know how many people will be visiting by sending a note or emailing me.
Yes. Birthdays are still very special times for 1st graders. If you plan to bring something, I would prefer that you do it after lunch. We eat lunch from ll:45 to 12:15 this year (07-08). If you would like to eat lunch with us and then do any special birthday activities that is fine as well.
We welcome parents to go on most field trips. However space usually limited on the buses for parents. There will be some field trips that parents will not be allowed to ride the buses due to the limited space. If you are interested in going on a field trip please let me know as soon as possible.
Most students arrive between 7:10 and 7:20. The first bell rings at 7:30a.m. Students are considered tardy after 7:35 and must check in at the office to get added to the attendance for that day.
The bus riders are dismissed at 2:20. Car riders are dismissed at 2:25
Yes. Parents often ask for a list of students in our class for special occasions such as birthdays, Valentine's Day or other special events. If you are planning to give invitations or cards out at school, please give one to all of the students in our class. It's hard to explain to a First Grader why he or she was not invited or given a card for a special event. I do not mind your child passing out invitations or cards if you keep everyone in mind when you send invitations, cards or etc. to school.
