Please check and sign your child’s planner daily to stay informed about their progress. Their behavior placement on their chart will go toward their behavior grade:
Below are the colors of our behavior chart:
Pink– SUPER STUDENT! 5 pts
Purple– Awesome Behavior. 5 pts
Blue– Good choices 5 pts
Green– Ready to Learn 4.5 pts
Yellow– Think about it 3 pts
Orange– Teacher Choice. 2 pts
Red- Parent Contact 0 pt
Glass Containers
Please avoid packing your child’s snacks and lunch in glass containers. We have had some incidents with dropped containers causing serious accidents.
Lunch
Please inform your child daily if they are getting hot lunch or if lunch will be dropped off for them. No sodas are allowed with dropped-off lunches. Please ensure your child does not pack sugary snacks or hard candy.
Drinks
Please avoid sending soda, sugary drinks, Starbucks, and boba to school. We encourage students to make healthy choices.
