SCHOOL YEARBOOK

 

A yearbook will be produced and published each year. Class pictures, events of the year, staff members, groups, and candid shots will be included in the yearbook. Order forms will be sent home in the spring and delivered in August to include end-of –the year pictures. This is a nice memento of the year’s experiences. If you take pictures of your child’s class activities or sporting events, the yearbook committee would appreciate duplicates that you could send into the school office for possible consideration for inclusion in the yearbook.

          

SECURITY SYSTEM   

 

In an effort to maximize the safety of our school community, school entrances will remain locked for the entire day once all students have arrived in the morning. There is a call box located outside each door. Visitors are to “buzz” the office and identify themselves. The office staff will monitor the visitors and grant entrance into the building. Please be patient as sometimes the office staff is busy attending to answering phones and attending to students. Please remember that the office closes at 3:30 PM and there will be no one to answer the door after this time. We ask your cooperation in not opening the doors for anyone once you are inside the building. This will help to ensure the safety of our school community.    

 

 

SMOKING

           

Smoking is strictly forbidden on school grounds inside and out. Students are not to carry nor use tobacco products of any kind.

 

SNOW DAYS

 

See "Calendar" section for details.

 

SOCIAL EVENTS

           

Students will have three class parties: Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day. The amount of assistance needed for the parties is up to the classroom teacher. Room parents may be asked to help organize the party. The parties should not last any longer than 1 & ½ hours. A Christmas party is held the last day of school before the Christmas vacation. There is no gift exchange within the classroom, except for class projects during the Advent season.

Other social events will be announced in the weekly newsletter or by special announcement.

            Treats for a child’s birthday celebration need to be approved by the child’s classroom teacher. We realize this is a special day for the child, however, we try to impact the instructional day as least as possible. Please make arrangements with the classroom teacher at least one week in advance, if you would like to bring in a treat in for your child’s class. The treats will be given out at the end of the school day. Invitations to birthday parties or parties outside the school day cannot be given out at school.
