In order for a student to receive perfect attendance for the year, the student must not only be in attendance each day, but also have not been tardy to school or had any early checkouts. There will be no exceptions made to this procedure. Assemblies Assemblies are held during the school year for many purposes. Students will demonstrate respectful behavior during assemblies by listening, participating, and following directions. Students will be taught appropriate audience behavior. Terrific Kid assemblies are held at the end of each semester to recognize students for academic and citizenship growth. Students recognized in the following areas will receive certificates and/or tags for their lanyards.

Due to celebrating in the cafeteria, there is not enough time for bringing outside guests, clowns, balloons, opening gifts, etc. Parents will need to schedule this in advance with their child’s teacher. This ensures that on days when the lunch schedule may change for various reasons, parents do not miss their student’s designated lunch time. Cafeteria Breakfast and lunch are served in the cafeteria daily. Menus are sent home on a monthly basis. Students may pay on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis or bring their lunch. Please send money by your child in a sealed envelope. Please work with your child with remembering their lunch number to ensure funds are credited to the proper account. Free or reduced-price lunches and breakfast are available for those who qualify. An application can be obtained in the
Planners/Assignment Books: Students in 4th and 5th grade are issued Student Assignment Books for homework and two-way communication between the classroom and home. If the assignment book is lost, the student will be charged $5.00 before another one will be issued. This becomes a debt to the school and the student may not receive a report card until the debt is paid. The teacher will provide notification to the parent if this occurs. Third and Fourth Grade students will have homework sheets designed by their teachers.
