    Dimissal:

    If you need to change your child's dismissal procedure for the day, you need to send a note with the date, stating how your child will be dismissed.  Please do not email me. If you forget to send a note, call the office and they will notify me.

    Birthday Party Policy

    Birthdays will be celebrated at lunchtime in the cafeteria.  If you choose to send in a snack, please be sure that it can easily be distributed to classmates. Ice-cream cakes and whole cakes cannot be accommodated by the food service staff.  You can deliver your item and/or treat to the receptionist or send it in with the birthday child.  Visitors are not permitted in the cafeteria.  Birthday party invitations cannot be handed out in school. However, parents are invited to join the class “party list” which will be distributed to parents that join the list.  We have 25 students.
