Our class will line up daily on the number \u201c6<\/strong>\u201d on the lower elementary blacktop.<\/p>\nTransportation<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nIf you are eligible to ride the bus you will receive a postcard with information from the Transportation Department, Dearborn Public Schools.<\/p>\n
Please communicate with me how your student will leave school and typically who with.<\/p>\n
If there is a change in transportation or who is picking up the student it must be called into the office or you must send a note informing me of the changes with a parent signature.\u00a0STUDENTS WILL NOT BE RELEASED TO ANYBODY WITHOUT SIGNED PERMISSION.<\/u><\/p>\n
Red Communication Folders<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nStudents will bring home red communication folders daily.\u00a0 In this folder expect to find student work and or information from the school.\u00a0\u00a0Please be sure to empty and return the folder every day!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nSnack<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nPlease pack a healthy snack for your child every day.\u00a0 Make sure they know it is their snack and not their lunch<\/u>.\u00a0 Mark it \u201csnack\u201d or use a different container other than their lunchbox.<\/p>\n
We will have morning snack.<\/p>\n
No juice please. Water bottles are encouraged.<\/p>\n
Birthdays<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nStudents are welcome to celebrate their birthday in class with a small treat.\u00a0 Please communicate when and what you are bringing into school so I can plan and check for allergies.\u00a0 Birthday celebrations will take place toward the end of our school day.\u00a0 Please keep in mind small simple treats or goodie bags work best.<\/p>\n
Lunch<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nOur lunch period is at 11:40 a.m.<\/p>\n
Students will eat first and then be dismissed to the playground.<\/p>\n
Students may bring their lunch in a lunch box or order school lunch.<\/p>\n
All Dearborn Schools students qualify for a free school lunch.\u00a0 Lunch menus will be sent home for planning.<\/p>\n
Extra Clothes<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nPlease send in an extra set of clothes for your student to keep in the top shelf of their locker for accidents.\u00a0 I have found that keeping them in a grocery bag or gallon Ziploc bag works best.\u00a0 Please write your student\u2019s name on the bag.<\/p>\n
Back Packs<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nAlthough the students are small a “normal sized” backpack instead of the junior sized back pack works best.\u00a0 Especially in the winter packing shoes, boots and snow pants.<\/p>\n
School Supplies<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Y5 supply list can be found on the Lindbergh blog under “suggested school supplies.”\u00a0 Supplies can be sent in at any time.<\/p>\n
Special Classes<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nStudents will attend gym, art, music and the media center\/computer lab classes.\u00a0 A schedule of which days these classes will occur will come home soon.<\/p>\n
Please wear tennis shoes on gym days.<\/p>\n
Quiet Time<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nStudents will not be taking formal naps during the day.\u00a0 After lunch we will return to the room for a bathroom break, drink break and quiet time.\u00a0 This is usually soft music and coloring or watching a short PBS show.\u00a0 At this time your student can also rest their head on their table or the carpet.<\/p>\n
School Calendar<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nPlease be aware of the Kindergarten\/ Y5 release days.\u00a0 There will be no school for Kindergarten\/Y5 only on these days:<\/p>\n
\n- Friday, September 27, 2019<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Friday, February 7, 2020<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Field Trips<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nIf you plan to chaperone any field trips (we should have 2 this year) you must have a completed background check on file<\/u>.\u00a0 Many of you may have completed this paperwork when you registered your student.\u00a0 If not, please stop by the office to do so.<\/p>\n
Classroom Rules and Discipline – PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System)<\/strong><\/p>\nThe students and I will come up with our classroom rules together.\u00a0 If a student breaks a rule we have a “clip system” we follow.\u00a0 Students start every day with their clip on green.<\/p>\n
\n- First time they break a rule: Verbal warning<\/li>\n
- Second time: They move their clip to yellow (warning)<\/li>\n
- Third time: They move their clip to orange (time out chair)<\/li>\n
- Fourth time: They move their clip to red (sent to the office and a phone call to the parent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
PBIS means we try to correct negative behavior with positive language.<\/p>\n
We will also hold month reward parties for students who stay on “green” 90% of the month.<\/p>\n
