  • If your student is new, he/she will get a name tag for the first week or so.  Please write any allergy/diet restriction on it each day they wear it.
  • Your child will have a coat hook labeled for them outside their class.  Please place any coats or bags there. All items should be labeled with your child’s first and last name.
  • Lunch boxes and water bottles should be labeled with first and last name and brought to your child’s classroom each day.  An ice pack is required in your child’s lunch box.  Please pack a healthy afternoon snack in your child’s lunch box if they stay for academic or full day.
  • Your child may be nervous and upset when you leave.  It is best that you make an agreement with your child that you will bring them in to class, hug/kiss them goodbye and tell them you’ll see them after school and then stick to that agreement.  Keep a smile on your face! Do not sneak out or linger too long as this makes anxious children more upset.  We will call you if we think it is necessary and you may call as many times as you like to check on your child!
