FAQ

> > I expect your child to demonstrate appropriate behavior in my class and while they are at school. We will discuss appropriate behavior at school and will continue to do so throughout the year. The kindergarten team has implemented a specific, daily plan to encourage appropriate and positive behavior in our classrooms as well as a way to keep in contact with you about issues that should be discussed. Each day, I will use the kindergarten behavior expectations to document daily class behavior on a calendar located in the orange daily folder. It is to be initialed and returned on the following day. I will also communicate with you in many other ways, including through notes, emails, and phone calls. I will contact you regarding issues that I feel should be brought to your attention regarding your child.

> > Our class will have a snack time everyday. Your child may bring a HEALTHY snack to eat. I do ask, however, that the snack be a non-messy “finger food.” Your child may also bring a small, labeled bottle of water with a top to use in the classroom throughout the day as well. This water bottle will also serve as a drink during snack time.
