Arrival/Dismissal • School doors open at 8:15am. Please do not drop off
your children earlier than 8:15 because they will not be supervised.
• Dismissal is at 3:45pm. • Students who leave before 12:15pm will be counted
absent for the day. • Parents, please send a written excuse to me within
two days that the student returns to school from any absence. The absence will be coded unlawful without an acceptable excuse. You can also look on the website and send an email excuse to the office.
• In order to avoid confusion and disruption of school dismissal, early dismissal will end at 3:15pm.

Homework Ø Students should read for 30 minutes each night. The bag of
books we provide your children needs to be returned each day for in-class activities.
Ø A weekly homework sheet will be sent home to check off activities to complete.
Ø When sight words are written in the students planner, study those for the week (write the words on flashcards, highlight in a magazine, write a sentence using the word, etc.)
Ø Practice writing their name, letters and numbers. Do not forget to practice the sound of the letter and the value of the number!
Ø Additional activities: practice tying sneakers, opening milk cartons, cheese sticks, fruit cups, juice pouches, etc.
Ø Memorize car rider number and lunch number!
