COMMUNICATION

Your child will have a special folder that will be used throughout the school year to bring home important papers that you will need to review.  Please look for this folder each day and sign and replace any papers that need to be returned.  Be sure to return the folder the next day.  Send any notes to the teacher, absent notes/excuses, money, etc.… in the folder.   Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions 276-821-5787.

FORMS

Please make sure all school forms are returned as quickly as possible.

ATTENDANCE

Your child’s attendance is very important for a good learning experience.  It is important that your child arrives on time and stays until school is dismissed.  If your child is going to be absent, you will need to call and let the office (Mrs. Adkins) know that your child will be out.  The school phone number is 276-821-5770.  In addition to calling it is required that I obtain a written excuse from the parent or doctor the day of return. 

CHANGE OF CLOTHES

Please send an extra change of clothes to school in case of spills or accidents.  I will send the clothes home to be replaced with more appropriate clothes at the change of a season. 

BOOKS FROM HOME

I do encourage the children to bring storybooks from home.  Be sure all books have a name inside so we know to whom they belong.  If I do not get a chance to read the book on the day your child brings them to school, they may be held over.  I have a special place we keep the books, to separate them from the library and classroom books.

THEMES

Each week we will have a new theme to learn about.  I will send home a schedule so that you will know what theme we are working on.  During each theme we will explore counting, letters, words, numbers, colors, shapes, identifying pictures, cooking experiences, arts and crafts etc…  Please help your child pick something out that relates to the themes, to show the class on Fridays.
