In K-1 we have the recipes for success because...

"We are the SMART COOKIES!"

We will have a SWEET year!

1. You must return your child's Homework Folder every single day, even if it is empty. It is our main line of communication, in addition to our Remind 101, school email, and of course phone calls when needed. Your child's folder must be emptied of all papers every day. Homework will begin in October, please only return homework to be graded, sealed envelopes with labeled money for lunch (or any other reason for money), and any parent communication notes.
2. If you are a parent of a child with allergies (mild-severe) please let me know as soon as possible. If your child develops an allergy at any point in the school year, kindly let us know immediately and how it is treated. If your child requires an epi-pen as treatment for a potential allergic reaction, you MUST supply one for our school nurse. Kindly be sure to check that it has not expired before handing it in. Any epi-pens must be labeled with the child's name and stored safely in the nurse's office.
3. Kindly remember to label EVERYTHING with your child’s name, especially ALL pieces of the school uniforms, jackets, mittens/scarves/hats, lunchboxes, snacks/water bottles, backpacks, etc. If your child misplaces a piece of their uniform, and it is not labeled with their name, it will be much harder to return to its rightful owner. Any unclaimed articles will be placed in the lost and found after a significant attempt of finding the owner. 
4. Should you ever need to send in money to the school, please have it in a sealed envelope/baggie labeled with your child’s name, K-1, and the reason for the money. Please be sure to give EXACT change or  a check with the exact amount.
5. If you send in Milk Money (or any other money) please put it inside your child’s FOLDER. Please do not put any loose money inside their backpack or lunchbox as it will not be seen.
6. Should you plan to pick your child up from school early, kindly write a note and place inside the folder and call the main office. If a written note is received, there will be no confusion for any party involved. If your child is picked up by a person other than a parent, documented photo-ID is mandatory for the teacher and the office. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
7. If you have a change in schedule for any reason, and you need to change the dismissal procedure for your child mid-day, kindly call the office first as well as writing an email. Although every teacher tries to check emails often, there may be unforseen circumstances that disable the teacher from checking the email mid-day. Your child's safety and well-being is always our main priority.
8. Lastly, I plan to check my email as often as I am able to. I always plan to reply as quickly as I can, or at the very least within a 24 hour period. If for some reason I do not reply right away, it is because I want to give myself the proper amount of time needed for an appropriate well-thought response. Please try to be understanding. If your email requires an immediate response, kindly state that in your email and I will be able to notify the office.
9. If your address/phone number/emergency contact information changes at any point during the school year, kindly update me, Mrs. Dumas, and the office as quickly as possible. We must have the most current, up-to-date contact information if your child is under our care.
