Before School: Breakfast begins at 8:00 in the lunchroom.
Kindergarten students not eating breakfast need to go straight
outside to the playground with their backpacks and coats until
school begins.
There will be adult supervision on the playground beginning at
8:10.
Students may not wait in the classroom before school due to lack
of supervision.
Students need to leave ALL toys at home during the day while at
school unless it is their special day. Thank you for your support.
After school: Please pick up your child outside the gated area on the
playground near Ave A. Your child will wait by their teacher and
their classmates. You need to come up to the gate to pick up your
child.
If your child needs to be picked up in a different way, please call
the office at 268-7145 and the message will be delivered to the
classroom teacher.
Monthly Homework: A packet will be sent home at the beginning of every month.
Return the completed packet at the end of every month.
Pre-decodable and decodable books will be sent home and can
stay home for you to read with your child.
Please have your child read to you each and every night.
Wednesday Envelopes: The envelopes will be sent home every Wednesday and will be in
your child’s backpack.
Please look through, sign, and return items if needed by
Thursday.
Envelopes are great way to send the teacher notes, lunch money,
homework, or any papers needing to be returned.
Lunch: When sending lunch money to school, please place it in an
envelope and label it with your child’s name, classroom, teacher’s
name and “Lunch Money.”
Birthdays: During the school year, birthday treats are welcomed. Please be
sure to include enough treats for the entire class.
If invitations are to be passed out, there must be enough for the
entire class as well. Otherwise, please mail invitations on an
individual basis.
Snacks: At the beginning of every month, your child will receive a monthly
calendar in their Wednesday envelope. During the month, your
child for the day will be a helper, bring a snack for the class to
enjoy, and share a show-n-tell.
All snacks need to be non-perishable or they will be sent home due
to allergies.
Please use the following sheet when picking out your child’s snack for
the special day.
NO PEANUTS/PEANUT OIL/PEANUT BUTTER
Snacks: (NO PEANUTS/PEANUT OIL/PEANUT BUTTER)
If snacks come that contain peanut butter or peanut oil, THEY
WILL BE SENT HOME. We have students who have severe peanut
allergies. Make sure to check every snack to make sure. Even check
that the snack hasn’t been processed around peanuts, oil, or butter.
Thank you so much for making our room a safe environment!
All snacks must be prepackaged and not homemade.
Please try and help to keep our snack cupboard full. I try to have 2
snacks a day because the kids get hungry. They may bring in snacks
anytime.
PEANUT FREE/TRENUT FREE SNACK LIST Avoid snacks that contain peanuts, peanut flour, peanut oil, or peanut butter or other nuts.
This includes snacks with almonds, coconuts, filberts, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts,
macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts.
Read labels carefully to make sure the products are nut free. This includes labels that read
“May contain traces of peanuts/nuts” or “processed in a facility that processes products that
contain peanuts/nuts.” Food labels and ingredients change over time, so always read the
label each time before purchasing snacks.
Include the packaging of your treat when you send it to the classroom, so that the label may
be rechecked if there are any questions.
Thank you for your consideration and support in keeping the food-allergic child
safe from having a life threatening allergic reaction at school.
