Miscellaneous Items
ATTENDANCE
A note to the teacher or phone call to the office is required when your child is absent. Each student should arrive on time at the beginning of the day, but not before 8:30 am. A child is tardy if s/he arrives any time after all the students and teacher are inside the classroom (8:45 am). If arriving tardy, please check in the office first. If your child needs an early dismissal, please report to office first before coming to pick up in classroom. Please try to avoid any unnecessary absences.
SNACK & LUNCH
Morning snack is optional at the 10:20 recess. Children should bring something quick and healthy. Disposable snacks are best, in order to eliminate the chance of losing containers.
Cafeteria Lunches and Milk are available each day. Lunch costs $3.00, Milk costs $.50. Please go to myschoolbucks.com to prepay.
BIRTHDAYS
We are trying to make your child's birthday a meaningful one, while reducing the amounts of sugar children eat. We encourage a class gift, a heathy snack, a party favor, or something else that is meaningful to your child.
BOOK ORDERS
We will send home Scholastic Book Order offerings just about every month. Go online to scholastic.com and enter our classroom code, HHYKN, to order books.
FIELD TRIPS
Checks for the field trip donations need to be made out to Gold River Discovery Center. Cash is preferred.
COMMUNICATION
We prefer email communication. Reach us at [email protected] and [email protected]. We will try to respond within 24 hours, but sometimes may need more time to investigate situations.
