Lunch
You are welcome to eat lunch with your child any day. After signing in at the office, please meet your child outside the cafeteria doors. Our lunch time currently is 12:25-12:55 and is subject to change after track-outs. Lunch prices in Wake County Schools have increased this year. Click here to learn more: new CAFE' prices
Snack
Students will have a break for snack each afternoon (usually around 2:30 p.m.) Please send your child with a healthy snack each day. Students will be responsible for keeping this snack in their cubby. Do not send in candy or drinks other than water as these can be messy, especially when spilled. I will ask parents to donate extra snacks for those that occasionally forget. A gentle reminder will go home if your child does not have a snack that day.
Birthdays
You may help your child celebrate a birthday at school one of two ways. You may send/bring in a store bought item like cookies or cupcakes. We will eat this treat in the cafeteria. Another option: you may volunteer to read a book to the class and then donate it to our class library in your child’s honor. Please let me know if you are planning this option as I will need to schedule time for your read aloud.
Agendas & Homework
Your child will bring home a binder each day. Inside the binder will be their agenda with the day's homework written inside. I will check your child's agenda to make sure the assignments were written down correctly and then initial at the bottom. Please check your child's agenda each day and sign your initials at the bottom as well. This daily step is so important as this will be our primary means of communication. Any worksheets for homework will be passed out in class and your child should place them in the inside pocket of the binder to carry home. All assignments are written each day and should be returned the following day, unless otherwise noted.
Volunteers & Registration
I welcome volunteers in the classroom and use them regularly. I will be sending home a sign up genius in a week or so, once we get our bearings and I have established routines and procedures with students. I will need a parent helper on Mondays to help copy and assemble class assignments or games. I will also need a helper on Friday to file papers in Friday Folders and possibly do some clerical work in preparation for the following week. Helpers will be needed for literacy and math times to teach and play games with small groups or take students to the library for checkout. I look forward to working with you! Please make sure you have updated your volunteer registration for this school year. This must be completed at school in the media center 8 am - 4 pm
After September, registration will only be available on Mondays.
Transportation
If your child will have a change in transportation on a given day, please write a note or send me a message on Class Messenger. The sooner I am made aware of changes the better. Please don't wait till 3:15 to send me a message. It gets busy at the end of the day and I may not check messages as I am assisting students packing up for dismissal.
Specials Schedule
TCE specials are different with each track-in/out. I will post the week's schedule for specials in class on Monday and ask students to write them down in their agendas.On Wednesday, our grade will have 2 specials to allow teachers to go to a weekly meeting. Thursday we will have no specials so many of our field trips or special activities will occur on these days.
