Cooperation between home and school is essential. The teachers would appreciate your help with the following:
Develop the habit of reading to your child for about 15 minutes every day.
Make sure that the school uniform is worn daily.
Label all school clothing and belongings with the child’s name and room number.
Allow plenty of time before school for breakfast and toileting. We encourage families to work with their children to become more independent with their toileting skills.
Help your child to form the habit of getting to school on time.
Get acquainted with his/her teacher. Plan to attend meetings that will be held.
Visit our digital communication tools, (Pre K4 Seesaw) (K-3 Schoology) for messages from your child’s teacher, monthly news, etc. Visit the Students tab on this website.
Check each evening to see if any notes/notices have been sent home in your child’s book-bag.
Send money in envelopes with your child’s name, room number, amount enclosed, and what the money is to be used for (example: fundraising).

Show him/her the safest route from home to school.
Help your child to learn to listen.

Encourage your child to think for himself/herself.
