Homework: Homework is distributed via the Red Communication Folder. Homework will be distributed on Fridays and will be collected the following Friday. Kindergarten homework is optional! However, students are encouraged to read every night with their family. Any changes due to holiday weekends will be communicated. Homework can be done all at once or it can be completed on a nightly basis.
Mystery Readers: I would like to invite any parents, older siblings, grandparents, relatives, or other special people to surprise your child by being a "Mystery Reader" this year in our classroom. Students LOVE having their family, friends, and relatives visit our classroom to share in our learning by reading a favorite story aloud to our class. Readers are asked to bring a book to read or read a teacher-chosen book from our classroom or school library. If you would like me to choose a book for you, please let me know a few days in advance. Don't forget to keep your visit TOP SECRET! We can't wait to meet our Mystery Readers! Please see Sign Up Genius via email.
Birthdays:
Birthday treats must be STORE bought with ingredients clearly listed. (NO peanut products) Students can eat birthday treats during lunch. Birthday treats can be passed out by the parent between 10:05-10:35. I will not pass treats out to students during lunch. Students will be reminded to eat their lunch BEFORE enjoying birthday treats.
Classroom birthday parties are not permitted at Dilworth Elementary.
Toys & treat bags will not be allowed.
Lunch Room Visitors:
Lunch payments can be made at paypams.com. If you send money for your child, please put it in a sealed envelope or plastic bag with your child’s name.
Parents who come in for lunch can sit at the tables next to the fish pond or in the courtyard.
Fishpond: Parent + child + one friend
Courtyard: Parent + child ONLY
FRIDAY: Parent + DRAGON OF THE WEEK (child) + one friend
Attendance & Arrival:
Our day officially begins at 7:45am. Students must be in the room by this time so they are not marked as tardy. Preferably, students will arrive beforehand to have time to unpack and settle in.
Students who are tardy must sign in through the front office.
If your child is sick, has an appointment, or will be leaving early, please email me in advance. I will check my email before 7:15am each morning.
If your child is sick, please email me & Amy Boykin ([email protected]) with a note. Absence notes that are not turned in 3 days after will result in an unexcused absence in the system.
Transportation:
The transportation information card needs to stay in your child’s bookbag for the remainder of the school year.
Please send a note if your child’s regular departure from school changes; their safety is our utmost concern. Without written permission (preferably email), a child will go home according to their regular departure.
