Notes that
come in for your children should also be clearly labeled. A note is needed for a child leaving
school earlier than dismissal time, a child that is being picked up by a
parent instead of riding the bus, a change in the person picking up
the child, and if your child is absent from school.
- Please
read the NSE handbook and refer to
it during the school year. Kindergarten
follows all policies on homework and school attendance. Please see the information on the dress code and follow it
accordingly. Our gym day is on Day 4, the
children must wear sneakers in order to participate, even in the winter
when some may wear boots to school.
- Please label everything that comes into
school so that it can be returned in a timely manner. Also, we ask that no toys or personal belongings come into school for recess time;
they tend to get lost or broken.
- All children have all privileges (snack,
recess, free choice time) when they start the day. If there are rules broken during the course of the day, the child will sail
his/her boat to the islands. This will lead to time lost from our classroom
privileges. We encourage positive behavior and like to reward
those children who follow the rules of our classroom and school building. We do not use whole class punishment but like
to use whole class rewards. In
the event that there would be behavior issues, we will encourage participation
from home in order to have a successful and positive school year.
- A
final note on how the classroom is run and what to expect during the course of
the year. In the classroom, there are two certified teachers that hold
degrees in elementary education, early childhood education, special education,
and reading. There will also be a part-time paraprofessional that has a
highly-qualified status to work with the children under the direction
supervision of the teachers. We differentiate
instruction in the classroom to meet the needs of all of the students based
on their abilities. There is much
working together in groups and a team mentality in the
classroom. We also value the importance
of learning centers and having the
students’ input in their learning. All children have the ability to learn and
we want them to succeed.
We
thank you for your cooperation in these important matters and look forward to
working with you over the course of the school year. Thanks in advance for all
your participation in Kindergarten!
