Transportation Plans:
Students who ride the bus will be taken to the bus by a teacher each day. The other children will be on the playground until their ride comes. Children are not allowed to play on the equipment unless a parent/guardian is present. If you are going to change your child’s transportation plans for a day, PLEASE send a note or call the office of the changes. If we do not get a note, we will send your child home in the usual way.
Absences
If your child is ill or absent for any reason, please call the office or send a note.
Snack
We will have a small afternoon snack. We are asking each child to furnish a box of crackers, cereal, popcorn, etc. each month. Everyone will share the treats.
Birthdays
It is customary for students to celebrate their birthdays in school. If you would like to send a special treat to make the day even more special, feel free to do so.

Thanks for letting us be a special part of his/her day.
