Beginning of the School Day • The School day begins at 9:15 AM • Children can enter the building at 9:00 AM. Children will stay on their bus until the front door is open at 9:00 am. • If you drive your child to school, enter from Applewood Dr., turn right & drive around to the back of the building, then up to the north side of the building. Please wait for directions from the staff members on duty outside before you allow your child to leave your car. Please do not drop your child off before 9:00. There is no supervision provided by the school until the doors open at 9:00 am. • Exit via Berkshire Drive • If your child arrives late, please walk your child to the office to check in with Mrs. Beavers.
Breakfast • Breakfast items are available for children to purchase. • Children buying breakfast will be escorted from the bus to the cafeteria at 8:50 to buy & eat breakfast. • Children must know their student ID number in order to purchase from the cafeteria. • You can check your child’s purchases by logging into your School Bucks account.
End of the School Day School ends at 3:30 PM. • The first few weeks of school the students will be escorted to their buses by their bus buddies. • For the rest of the year I will escort my class to the buses at 3:25 – before the rest of the students are dismissed. • 3:30 dismissal of bus riders in the front of the building. - Car riders will be dismissed at the north side of the building. If you are picking up your child, enter through Applewood, turn right & loop around to the back of the building, then around to the north side. Wait in your car & the car riders will be dismissed after the buses leave. Please do not park your car in the car rider pick up line. If you need to come into the building, please park your car in the parking lot.
Change of Transportation • If your child is a bus rider, he/she will be sent home on that same bus every day. Children are not allowed to take other buses home with friends or to be dropped off at another location • If you will be picking your child up from school instead of using bus transportation, the office needs a note dated & signed by a legal guardian authorizing this change. In case of an emergency, please call the office to arrange transportation changes. • We want all of our students to arrive home safe & sound every day from school.
To Help With Transportation Keep the Green Apple on Your Child’s Book Bag Child’s Name Way Home Kindergarteners will be assigned a 5th grade “bus buddy” for the first few weeks of school. This will be a student that rides the same bus and will be responsible for walking the buddy to the bus at the end of the day. The 5th graders will come down to the kindergarten classrooms at the end of the day to pair up the bus buddies.
Say Good Bye • At the bus stop • At the front door of the school • Start a routine the first day • If your child will be riding the bus, start out on the bus. • Upset – might be contagious
Attendance Line • Call the attendance line at 273-8105. • Follow the directions on the pre-recorded message. • You must call everyday your child is to be absent. Please do not email the teacher or office regarding an absence – we sometimes don’t check our emails until the end of the day! • Students who show signs of illness should remain at home. • Students becoming ill at school will first be evaluated by our school nurse and then parents will be called if necessary.
If your child should become seriously ill or have an accident at school, a parent will be called. Kindergarteners will have accidents at school. It’s a good idea to keep a change of clothing in your child’s book bag. The office has a variety of pants & socks available. Just wash & return them.

Collection of Money Money being sent to school for field trips & class fees should be enclosed in an envelope with your child’s name, amount, purpose & teacher’s name written on the outside.

Field Trips will be extra. Notes will be sent home explaining details and special times. Lunch is $2.75. Breakfast is $1.50. Milk is $.50.
Lunch Your child can pack a lunch or purchase a lunch at school for $2.75. Until later in the school year, I am asking that lunch money be put in an envelope with your child’s name marked clearly & LUNCH MONEY written on the front. This will help reduce conflicts until the children learn to be responsible for their money and become accustomed to our class and lunch routines. MySchoolBucks is our school lunch payment system where money can be deposited into your child’s account at any time. Your child will scan or punch in his/her 6 digit ID number when purchasing food items & you will be able to track their purchases on line. You have the option of sending cash/check to school with your child to be deposited into his/her account, or you can deposit money on line for a small fee.
