First+Day+Information

We begin the school year with a staggered opening schedule so your child can become familiar with our classroom routines, materials, teachers and friends in a small, cozy setting. On their first day of school, each child will be with one third of their class. On their second day (during the following week), they will be with half the class. The last two days of that second week,we will come together as a whole class. Following the staggered opening days, we will continue to meet each day, M-F. More information about your child’s staggered opening schedule has been sent home. **Your child should attend school only on the days stated in your session placement letter. Please email me with any questions.**   
 * On each of our staggered first days, your child’s teachers will meet them in front of the school.
 * We will meet each bus as it arrives and keep the children together until all have arrived.
 * If your child is arriving by car, please come to the front of the school where we will be waiting.
 * We need to know how your child will return home at the end of the day. Please write a note stating if the bus will be the transportation or if you or someone else will transport your child by car. The bus company will tell us the bus your child is to ride, based on information you give us and the information you give the bus company. //Always inform us in writing about the after school transportation for your child.// **

 A folder will go home with lots of paperwork for you to review and return to school.   ** Your child will need something to carry school work and memos to and from school for the year. A backpack (no backpacks with wheels please) or a canvas bag would be fine. Be sure to label it with your child's name. Please see a separate entry for school supplies. ** <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128)">
