Remind Text @k9e63kg to 81010 join if you are not added already! This will be my main form of communication for the school year. My "office hours" are until 4p.m. so if you contact me after that, it may be a delayed response. HOWEVER, I will always get back to you within 24 hours.
Classroom/Health Reminders PLEASE send a change of clothes with your child. Accidents happen. IF your child needs a health plan, please let me/ the nurses know. Children must be fever free for 24 hours before coming to/back to school.
Daily Folders This is a Purple multi-pocket folder. It houses mostly EVERYTHING for your child. Behavior calendars, money, notes, etc Our folder will be come home daily. Please make sure that you check and return it daily. This is so important. When graded papers go home they will go in a red folder. This must be returned back to me the next day after you sign their progress reports or report card.
Transportation School begins August 8, 2023. (Staggered) Please make sure I always know how your child gets home. If there are any changes please send a HANDWRITTEN note to school before 2:00 pm.

We cannot accept any transportation changes over the phone, computer, or via fax.
Car Riders and Bus Riders Cars begin unloading in the morning at 7:10am. Tardy bells rings at 7:40. Buses will load in the afternoon at 2:30pm and car riders will be released at 2:35pm. Car riders must be picked up by 2:50
Car Rider Loop Please follow the loop on the outside of the fence and down by the woodline and then up into the teacher parking. Do not cut through the loop at the bus shop when coming down the car rider line as it will mess up your spot in the pickup line and can cause issue with your child being in their right spot in line!!
Car Rider Tags -You must have a car rider tag to pick your child up in the afternoons. If you do not already have one you may purchase one in the main hallway for free and $5 for any additional ones. -Please be sure the car tag is on your mirror before entering campus. If you do not have the tag with you, you ll have to park at the parent parking lot and go in through the office. No exceptions will be made.

If your child is caught making a bad choice they will be given a MBI (Minor Behavior Incident). We have monthly Gotcha parties that students can attend if they reach the goal amount of gotchas for that month. We try to be bucket fillers, the students pick their reward as they fill my glass bucket with pom poms! We have a treasure chest in our classroom that students may visit for good behavior.
