Parents, we understand that on a rare occasion you might need to drop off something for your child. But, please help us to avoid interruptions in the classrooms. Here’s how you can help:
- Make a checklist by your front door: does your child have his/her backpack, lunch, homework, jacket, glasses, plan for after-school pick-up, etc.?
- If your child is eating a lunch from home, please send it with your child. Avoid bringing lunches to the school during the school day.
- If you drop homework off during the school day, we only put it in the teacher’s box. The teacher will probably not see it until the next day.
- Make your plans for afterschool pickup and tell your child the plans before school.
Thank you so much for your help avoiding disruptions in the classrooms.
