Your direct contact with the school will help avoid any miscommunication; and it will save the teacher’s time and ensure your child’s safety. Your child will be waiting in the office after 3:05 pm.

It’s important for our scholars to come to school on time every day. Instruction starts at 7:50 am, scholars that arrive late miss valuable learning time. We will reward scholars that have perfect attendance and no tardy for the month. Scholars will earn their award at the end of that month.

Your student will bring home a “Daily Folder” each day. Please return the folder to school every morning. All paperwork and school work, as well as notes from me, will come home to you in this folder. If you are sending back paperwork or writing me a note, please place it in this folder as well. A behavior card inside the folder will provide you with daily information about your child’s classroom behavior. This folder is the main tool for communication between home and school-please check every night.
