Classroom Supplies:

Students will be provided with a pencil box, 2 pencils, crayons, glue stick, scissors, an eraser, folders, notebooks, planner, and binder. The binder is to keep the planner, homework folder, and important information together in one place.  Clear or mesh book bags are required.

Snack:

We will have a 15-minute snack break everyday, except Act 80 Days. Please provide a simple snack (granola bar, fruit snacks, etc.) and/or drink each day. Soda and candy are not permitted.

Homework:

Homework is an important part of your child’s education. It reinforces concepts taught in school that day. Every child is expected to complete his/her homework and return it to school the next day. Reading, Spelling, and Math homework will typically be assigned daily. There will be no homework on Fridays. All homework assignments will be written in the student’s planner and placed in their folders. The daily news folder and planner will be included in the binder that is provided. You are asked to sign/initial the planner daily. This is simply to let me know that you’ve seen it. Also, any communication that we may have can be written in the planner.

**Please check folders daily. Papers will go home on a regular basis, including forms that need to be signed.

Behavior Plan:

The elementary will be continuing the school-wide positive behavior plan. The rules are:

1. Be respectful.
2. Be responsible.
3. Be safe.

Students are encouraged to show these positive behaviors, and will be rewarded by earning purple indian heads for his/her TRIBE cards. Completion of tribe cards results in chances to earn prizes/reward coupons/etc.

Caftrac/Lunch Menu:

All students receive a free breakfast and lunch. If students would like to purchase a snack, please send in any Caftrac money in an envelope with your child’s name, my name, and the amount enclosed listed on the envelope. I will send the money to the cafeteria that morning.

Absences:
