Let your child be independent, that also means making some mistakes. I promise, we all learn from our errors. __** How do I let you know if my child will be going home a different way? **__ Email communication is usually ideal, but please make sure that I have responded to your email. In the event that I have to be out, the substitute needs to be aware of the changes. Placing a written note in your child's daily folder ensures that the teacher will be aware of the change. You may also contact the office to ensure that I have received the message. __** Can I call the classroom? **__ Of course! I will not be available to speak with you immediately. Being that I will be teaching all day, I will return your messages at the first opportunity. That may be during my conference period or after school. __** May my child bring a water bottle? **__ Yes, I welcome students to bring a reusable water bottle daily that can be kept in their backpacks. Please make sure it is labeled with your child's name. I only ask that the water bottles be taken home daily and cleaned. __** Can I have a birthday party in the classroom? **__ I would love to celebrate your child's birthday with a special snack( cookies, cupcakes, doughnuts, etc.- No Whole cakes) towards the end of our school day. (3:20) Please give me advance notice so that I can plan accordingly. **__ What if I need to pick my child up before 3:45pm? __** Please be sure to go to the school front office and sign your child out. Someone from the front office will inform me that your child will be leaving for the day. I will then send your child with their belongings to the front school office to meet you.
