CHILD SICKNESS GUIDELINES
INDOOR RECESS NEEDS Cleaning out your closets? Donate your gently used board or card games for indoor recess! CAR LOOP REMINDER Please make sure the Oak Street driveway entrance is not blocked during car loop. Aftercare employees need to enter the lot at dismissal time and be able to park in the area between the auditorium and cafe. POLICY ON TOYS/TRADING CARDS IN SCHOOL Teachers design many important and engaging learning activities for their students. In the interest of maintaining a harmonious, productive and positive learning environment, children are not to bring toys or trading cards (example: Pokemon) to school from home. The only exception is if the teacher has specifically asked the children to do so because it relates to an instructional activity. Handheld video games, iPods, cell phones, and other electronic devices are prohibited in school, on the playground and on the bus. FRIDAY FOLDER DISTRIBUTION The Friday Folder distribution method has changed. Your Friday Folder email will have either Mrs. Slack or Mrs. Woodside as the sender and the subject will say FRIDAY FOLDER with the date. If you are not receiving Friday Folders, please reach out to the Main Office. |
