  • Students who arrive after 7:50 a.m. will be marked "tardy". Children coming to class after 7:50 a.m. will be sent to the office for a tardy slip.  Students need to be in their seats and ready to work by 7:50. Children should be seated in the gym at 7:40 a.m.  I will pick them up at this time.
  • Students who arrive after 9:00 a.m. will be marked "absent".
  • If your child is absent, please send a note explaining the reason for the absence.  If a note is not sent, the student's absence will be marked "unexcused".

Parties, Birthdays & Invitations-

  • Our class parties will be at Christmas and Fiesta.  We will also have a Valentine Exchange.
  • Birthdays are recognized but not celebrated in the classroom. Parents are allowed to bring in or send in store bought cupcakes.
  • Students who wish to distribute invitations to parties need to either bring invitations to all classmates or to all same gender classmates.  Please send invitations for your child's own class.  They will not be allowed to pass invitations to friends in other classrooms.  We are trying to avoid hurt feelings.
