+Bus Safety
We ask that parents walk their child to and from the bus door.
It is critical for students not to step out until the lights are flashing and stop sign is extended.
There may behaviors that are unexpected on the bus. It is beneficial to work together to send the message that we want them to be safe.

+More Bus Information
Please do not board the bus with your child. This includes picture taking. Please say goodbye and take pictures prior to the bus arriving if possible.
This actually became law after parents were boarding buses to address someone else’s child. Only adults who are authorized officials and chaperones may board the bus.
Buses may not be on schedule the first few days. Please be patient.

+Curriculum
There are state standards for early childhood
We use a guided reading approach and our goal is to have the students reading or very close by the end of kindergarten
Children develop skills at different paces
Keep open line of communication with teachers
They will post weekly curriculum on their webpage

+Assessments
Benchmark assessments – 3 times a year in both reading and math
DRA – Direct Reading Assessment. This gives us more specific information about a child’s strengths and weaknesses in developing literacy skills
Please try to attend conferences and don’t be afraid to ask questions about your child’s progress.
Report cards have been changed this year to give parents better feedback that is more in line with the state standards
