We are very excited to begin working with your child and ready for\nan amazing year of growth J <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Absences<\/strong> \u2013 Please make\nsure your child is in school every day unless he\/she is sick. If your child is\nsick, it is necessary to call the office and inform them that he\/she will be\nabsent. The number is 313-827-2300. Please send a note or call if your child\nwill need to be dismissed early for appointments. Kindergarten is a continuous\nexperience with each lesson building on the lessons the day before. Attendance\nand punctuality are the keys to success. School starts at 8:35 and ends at 3:35\nevery day. You must pick your child up promptly because children tend to get\nemotional when they do not see you after school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Drop-Off and Pick-Up <\/strong>\u2013 If your child is eating\nbreakfast at school, they may come for breakfast at 8:00 a.m. Please do not\nbring your child any earlier than that. If they are not eating breakfast, they\nmay come at 8:35. Students will be lining up with their class outside for the\nmonths of September-November and April-June. Morning line up will be inside for\nall other months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will be picked\nup from their child\u2019s classroom. PLEASE do not arrive before 3:35-we are\ninstructing right until the bell rings. You may pick your child up at the\noutside door if your child\u2019s teacher is Mrs. Chisek, Mrs. Davidson, or Ms.\nSanchez. If your child\u2019s teacher is Ms. Svestka, please pick up at the\nclassroom door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Homework <\/strong>\u2013 Our hope is\nto foster a love of reading with your child. We encourage that you read with\nyour child for at least 15 minutes every night. We will be sending home a\nreading log for you to keep track of your reading. Also, we will be providing\nmath homework on most nights. Beginning in January, we will also be focusing on\nteaching spelling words with your child, and they will be required to practice\nthose words at home. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communication Folders<\/strong> \u2013 Your child has been provided with a Communication Folder.&nbsp; It is your child\u2019s responsibility to bring\nthis to class daily, since they will be turning in homework, and collecting new\nassignments in this folder. Here you will find any unfinished class work,\nhomework, teacher notes, handouts and spelling lists.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supplies<\/strong>&#8211; Every child\nshould bring a backpack to school. Other school supplies will be provided by\nus. However, any donations are greatly appreciated. All supplies are shared\nbetween students in the classroom. Things we may need include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Kleenex<\/li><li>Hand Sanitizer<\/li><li>Clorox Wipes<\/li><li>White copy\npaper<\/li><li>24 Crayola\npack of Crayons<\/li><li>Glue Sticks<\/li><li>EXPO Dry Erase\nMarkers<\/li><li>Lunch Box (if\npacking a lunch)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Classroom Policies and Rules- <\/strong>We here at Geer Park have a color-coded behavior system. The four colors\nare purple, green, yellow, and red. Everybody starts on green. If your child\nclips up to purple, that means they have had an outstanding day. If your child\nflips clips down to yellow, that means they have a warning. If they flip to\nred, you will receive a call or note home and you child will lose a classroom\nprivilege.We will create a list of\nclassroom rules together, however, I always enforce the following 3 rules in my\nclassroom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be kind<\/li><li>Be safe<\/li><li>Be responsible<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Snack<\/strong>&#8211; Every month, a\nsnack calendar will go home informing you of when your child is to bring snack\nfor our class. Please send enough snacks for the whole class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An important goal in\nmy classroom is to reinforce healthy eating habits. With this goal in mind, the\nfollowing is a list of acceptable snacks:<br>\n<br>\n\u2022 Crackers <br>\n\u2022 Pretzels<br>\n\u2022 Fruit and\/or vegetables<br>\n\u2022 Yogurt or pudding<br>\n\u2022 Granola bars<br>\n\u2022 Rice Cakes<br>\n\u2022 Applesauce<br>\n\u2022 String cheese<br>\n\u2022 Mini-muffins<br>\n<br>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students may bring water\nor juice with their provided snack for the class. If a drink is provided, boxed\nor bottled drinks are recommended.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Birthdays<\/strong> \u2013 You are\nwelcome to bring in a treat to celebrate your child\u2019s birthday. PLEASE do not\nbring sheet cakes.&nbsp; Cupcakes or cookies are\nmuch easier to work with. Healthy snacks are always recommended and suggested.\nWhen bringing in a treat for your child, please leave it in the office in the\nmorning. Depending on our daily schedule, we will be sure to find a time for\nyour child to share their birthday treat.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Questions and Concerns<\/strong>&#8211; Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns\nyou may have regarding your child. If you call during school hours, it will go\ndirectly to voicemail since I am teaching. I will return your call as soon as\npossible.&nbsp; You may also contact us via\nemail.
