Information for Students

Homework assignments vary depending on the grade level of your student. Check with the teacher early in the year to understand expectations and class procedures.

**Vacations-AVOID SCHEDULING ANY VACATIONS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. If you are planning a trip, please let the office and the classroom teacher know at least ONE WEEK prior to the trip. Student's absences will be marked as unexcused during this time. Work missed during this time is neither eligible to be graded nor factored into the student's final grade.

Valuables
Common sense and consideration is the best guide in determining whether or not to bring personal possessions to school. The school administrator and staff cannot be responsible for valuables that students bring to school. Students should leave all valuables at home. Do not bring possessions such as, but not limited to:  electronic games, collector cards, beanie babies, CD Players, I-Pods, or valuable jewelry. HEELYS (shoes with wheels on the bottom) ARE NOT ALLOWED IN SCHOOL.

Lunch
All students carry their lunches to school. Please help your child be responsible for this on a daily basis.
Label lunch boxes/bags with your child's name and room number visible on the OUTSIDE.
Students are asked to use a baby wipe before and after lunch to wash their hands. Teachers may ask for additional wet wipes throughout the year. Thank you for your generosity.
Students are discouraged from sharing food due to the fear of an allergic reaction.

Playground/Recess
Safety is the determining factor for playground behavior. Students must remain in the playground area at all times during recess. Games such as tackle football, wrestling, etc., are not allowed. If the staff member supervising recess concludes that any activities are too rough or may cause injury, they may limit that behavior. Equipment has been provided for each grade level. After recess it should be collected and returned to the appropriate grade level bag.

Always assume we will be going out for recess and dress your child accordingly. Only students with a signed doctor's note will be allowed to remain inside during outdoor recess. Students will go out for recess if the temperature or wind chill falls within the following ranges:
