FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions are frequently asked regarding
the following subjects. I hope you find this page helpful! If you have
questions about anything not covered here please feel free to ask.
CARPOOLS/DAYCARE
Parents are to list everyone who is in their carpool along with the name of
drivers and days. Please send in your child’s folder on the first day. If
your child is attending daycare, please send a list with the days he or she
will be going to daycare after class.
NOTIFICATION
Parents
must notify us or the school office when a student is going home in some
way other than the normal routine or when he or she is going to be absent.
If we are not informed of changes, it may be necessary to detain the student
until we hear from the parents. *If you child is going to Daycare, please
write a note listing the days they will be staying there.
FOLDERS
A student is
responsible for his or her own take home folder. They are to
follow a two-step instruction upon entering the classroom which includes
removing the folder from the book bag and placing it on the desk. Any
written communication between home and school should be put inside the
folder. (PLEASE allow your child to take care of his or her own
responsibilities including putting bags, coats and hats where they belong)
LEADER
Each
week a student is “Leader of the Week”. The children look forward to this
responsibility. It involves leading at circle time, leading the student
line at recess, gym and dismissal time and sometimes a few other special
duties. Watch the calendar for your child’s name. THIS DOES NOT
INVOLVE SNACKS. All responsibilities are taken care of in the classroom.
SHARING
Sharing will be every Thursday for the 2 day class and every Friday for the
3 day class. The students are to bring something from home to share with
the class that begins with the letter of the week. If you cannot find
anything that pertains to the letter, you may help your child choose some
other item. Please do not send in items to be passed out to the students.
Thank you!
SNACKS
Children may bring a simple snack to share with the class on their
birthdays. Otherwise, snacks are supplied occasionally by the teacher to
teach a lesson or to celebrate a special day.
BIRTHDAYS
Student’s
birthdays are recognized during the school year. Summer birthdays are
celebrated from November to February as half birthdays. Weekend and Holiday
birthdays are celebrated as close to the date as possible. It is a
tremendous help if you notify us of the day you wish to celebrate your
child’s day.
DRESS CODE
Students may
wear shorts at any time. When sandals are worn they must have a strap on
the back and be worn with socks. Gym shoes are to be worn on gym days.
This is Tuesdays for the 2-day and Wednesdays for the 3-day. (These days
may change depending on scheduling)
REPORT CARDS
Students
do not receive report cards in preschool. However, there will be a Pre-K
Report followed by a scheduled Parent/Teacher conference in November. In
March, there will be an opportunity to request another conference.
INVITATIONS
I ask that
students do not pass out party invitations or gifts at school unless the
entire class is included. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
