Homework
Policy
Students will have two folders that will travel
with them to and from school. Students
will use their yellow folder as their homework folder. In this folder you will find nightly homework
as well as the weekly homework assignment sheet. In addition to nightly homework, students are
asked to read at home for twenty minutes. Students will use their red folder as their take
home folder. In this folder you will
find corrected homework and classwork papers.
Notices from school will also come home in this folder.
Birthday Food
Policy
The first grade will continue the policy of “fun
without food” for birthday celebrations in the classroom. We recognize the importance of celebrating
these important milestones and will still celebrate your child’s special day. Please feel free to send in stickers, erasers,
pencils, or a classroom book donation as a party favor! We appreciate your cooperation!
Attendance
Procedures
If
your child will be absent from school, please notify Mrs. Cathy Murphy in the
main office, as well as your child’s classroom teacher as soon as you know
about an absence. This helps complete
attendance and lunch count accurately.
If you are arriving late to school, please check in at the main office
before arriving in the classroom.
First
Grade Field Tip Policies
We are excited to welcome parents as chaperones
for each of the first grade field trips!
Being a chaperone on a field trip is just one of the many ways you can
be involved in your child’s first grade experience. Since field trips are a popular time for
parents to volunteer their time, we have a policy in place to ensure equity to
parents and children on these days.
Please keep in mind that most trips have a limited number of adult spots
that we are able to accommodate.
- Parents are encouraged to share their name if they are interested in accompanying the first grade on a given field trip.
- We will take the names and put them in a hat.
- We will draw names after we have collected the permission slips.
·
Parents that have not yet been on a
trip with the first grade this year will be put in the hat first so that they
may have the opportunity to come if they have not come before.
There are four different trips throughout the
year, so please keep in mind that there are additional opportunities to
accompany first grade at a later time.
Thank you!
