3:40 Dismissal
Attendance Students may arrive between 8:10 and 8:25. Breakfast
is served at this time. At 8:30 breakfast will end and those children will make
their way to class. The tardy bell rings at 8:40. If you arrive after the tardy
bell you will need to escort your child into school to receive a tardy pass. They will be considered tardy for that day.
Excessive tardies, early-sign outs, and/or absences, parents will be contacted to make an appointment with an administrator.
Please have your child be here on time. It is very important they do not miss out on valuable instruction.

Bullying Behavior Unfair and one-sided. It
happens when someone keeps hurting, frightening, threatening, or leaving someone out on purpose.
unfair means there is an imbalance of power (social, physical…). One-sided means that only one person is being mean – not an argument or fight. It keeps on happening. Bullying is not a one-time occurrence. It’s an established pattern of behavior.

How to Help Your Child Read Successfully
What can you do at home?
Read with your child every day. Talk with your child to develop vocabulary. Practice high frequency words. Write with your child (writing helps reading). Know the Kindergarten expectations.
Good Beginning Reading Strategies
Look at the pictures. Point to the words (left to right).
Think about what would make sense as you read.
Use letters and words you know to help you.
