Frequently Asked Questions
General Information
Arrival Procedure:
Drop off time is between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m. The tardy bell rings at 8:00. Students line up at the courtyard doors. Students are to enter the school through the courtyard doors and walk down to our classroom on their own (Room 17).
Dismissal Procedure:
Your child will be dismissed through the courtyard doors at 3:15 p.m. Parents can wait in the pick up line or park in the parking lot and walk along the sidewalk to pick up their child. Children will not be left alone or left unsupervised. Once you pick your child up, please be sure there is no running around in the courtyard. If an emergency arises, please contact the office and I will be notified.
Kid’s Club:
This service is available from 7:00 to 7:50 a.m. and from 3:15-6:00 p.m. If you need to sign up for this service, please contact the office for more information.
Attendance:
If your child will be absent, please notify the office before 8:00 a.m. All absent work will be sent home with your child when they return or you can pick it up in the office. Please notify the office if you are picking up your child’s absent work. All absent work needs to be returned in a timely manner.
Gym:
Children need to wear their gym shoes every Monday. I highly advise girls to wear shorts under jumpers every day, since they will be active at recess as well.
Snack:
We will have two nutritional snacks each day--brought from home. I encourage you to pack this separately from your child's lunch, or label one as a snack so there is not confusion. Please make sure your child’s snack is healthy (no chips, candy, etc.) If your child has an upcoming birthday, please contact me if you would like to send in a birthday treat. Please be mindful that we have 19 students.
Water Bottles:
I encourage your child to bring in a water bottle each day. In order to prevent spills, please do not send in twist off tops.
Lunch:
Lunch begins in the cafeteria at 11:15 a.m. Hot lunches are ordered in advance and cannot be ordered the day of. If your child orders hot lunch, milk or water is included. Otherwise, milk/water is available for 35 cents. At 11:35, the children go outside for recess. All children are required to go outside.

Binders:
After the first week, I will have a take home binder prepared for your child. This will contain a folder for papers/notes/homework, class list, passwords for our online programs, etc. Please encourage your child to empty their folder after school each day, complete their homework, and then bring it back each morning.
Mass: We go to mass every Friday at 8:30. We will be sitting with our 8th grade buddies. All students need to be in formal school uniform on Fridays. This includes jumpers for girls (no skorts) and uniform pants (no shorts) for boys. All shirts must be tucked in. Ties and belts are optional for boys until their First Communion in April, when they will be required to wear both.
Newsletters: These will be sent home at the beginning of each week.
