    Please send a snack!

    Please provide your child with a healthy snack everyday (no candy, chocolate, or sweets).  We have snack time so that children can concentrate on their work until lunch time.

     

    Library Books

    We have Library every six days. Please refer to the Encore schedule your child brought home the first day of school.  If you need another copy, please contact your child's teacher.   Please make sure your child brings his or her library book on the correct day.  If your child would like to check out a book during the week, remind him or her to ask the teacher in the morning to go to the library. 

     

    Ice Cream

    Please make sure you send separate ice cream and lunch money, and exact change would help.

     

    Tennis Shoes

    Tennis shoes must be worn (or brought) everyday.  On days that students do not have gym, they have recess time with their classroom teacher, and they need tennis shoes to safely play on equipment.
