Clothing
Please print your child's name on all clothing that your child might take off at school. Please label all backpacks, lunch boxes, etc.
Toys
Your child should leave all toys at home unless notified differently by me. Your child may bring books, records and materials that relate to our unit of study. No personal electronics are allowed at school. Please do not allow your child to bring gum, candy and/or money to school unless it is required for school.
Reading at Home
I encourage reading every night. Your child should read for at least 15 minutes each night.
Math Facts
Your child should complete a full session of Xtra Math daily!
School Hours
School hours are from 7:45 am to 2:15 pm. Please have your child in the classroom by 7:45 am. Students will be counted tardy after that time. If you should have to bring your child in late, you must accompany him/her to the office to sign in. A student who is tardy will need to go straight to their special class. If you must check your child out early, please stop by the office first and sign them out. Please make sure I am aware of your child's arrival and/or departure. Dismissal will begin at 2:05 each afternoon.
Absences
When your child returns from an absence, please send a note stating the reason for the absence. Without a note, your child will be marked as having an unexcused absence. Please refer to the DeKalb County Attendance Policy for a list of excused absences.
Change of Dismissal Form
Please fill out a change of dismissal form anytime dismissal varies from the regular way of getting home.
Medication
Parent authorization form must be completed before any medication can be administered by the nurse (over the counter medications as well).
Help Us Stay Focused
Avoid distracting clothing, accessories and supplies.
Communication
You can communicate with me through e-mail, telephone, website, notes and conferences.
