Snacks

Each child will be asked to provide snacks on assigned days. The snacks must be nutritious and “non-messy” as possible. Candy, Chips, and Carbonated drinks are not allowed. Some snack suggestions are: pretzels, popcorn, raisins, fruit, crackers, animal crackers, etc.

Rest Time

Rest time will be a quiet time each day when we read or listen to stories. Children are not required to sleep, but if a child should drop off to sleep, he/she will be allowed to sleep for 30 minutes.

Attendance

Consistent and punctual attendance is a desirable trait.  Please be sure your child arrives at school by 7:50 am. Children will go the cafeteria upon arrival if they are to eat breakfast, if not they will come to their class room. The tardy bell rings at 7:55 am. Students arriving after that time will be required to check in at the school office. If your child has to be absent, please send a dated note explaining the reason for the absence when your child returns to school. If your child must be out for more than two days, please contact the office.

Folders

Folders will be sent home daily and expected to be returned the next day. Folders will contain your child’s work, daily conduct information and any correspondences that need to be sent to you. At the beginning of each month a calendar with class activities and snack assignments will be enclosed. Any important dates for the upcoming month, letters, numbers and other topics of study will be included. Please remove papers daily and return any that need to be returned. Don’t forget to initial your child’s calendar square each day.

Discipline Management

Classroom discipline problems can be a roadblock effective teaching and learning. In order to provide your child with the learning environment he/she deserves, discipline problems must be kept to a minimum. This is the discipline plan that we will be using at Robert F. Hunt Elementary.

1st offense---Verbal warning; rehearse rules
2^nd   offense---Verbal reminder; rehearse rules again, name is moved from green to yellow on the stop light,
3^rd   offense—Loss of center/play time and note to parents and name is moved to red on the stop light
