We ask that parents and students make arrangements for social activities ahead of time rather than during the school day. If a child is to remain after school for more than 10 minutes, the teacher will have the child call home and report the delay. We ask your cooperation in sending fruit, nuts, juice or other healthful snack foods. Students may buy their lunch at school or bring one from home. Milk alone is 25 cents a day.
Applications are available in the school office for free or reduced price lunches.
If you would like your child to go home for lunch, we must have a note on file in the office giving permission. Lunch money will not be loaned by the office, but a child without a lunch will be encouraged to share with others or will be offered a snack item. It extends the student's learning beyond the classroom and makes the mastery of new skills increasingly the responsibility of the individual student. Homework time for students may be used for completing the work begun in class, for gathering information through research, for practicing and applying what was taught in the classroom or for making up missed work. During the first month of school, your child's teacher will send home a specific homework plan for the school year.
