General Reminders
- Children may bring a nutritious snack for mid-morning. Some suggestions are fruit, vegetables, cheese, crackers, pretzels, etc.
- I encourage students to bring a water bottle if they wish. It must have a lid that closes securely. Students should not bring soft drinks of any kind.
- School snacks may be purchased for 50 cents in the cafeteria after students have finished eating their lunch. Students will need to pay by the day and bring correct change.
- PLEASE SEND LUNCH MONEY IN AN EVELOPE. Please label envelopes with your child’s name, student number, amount enclosed, and what the money is for.
- If it is necessary for your child to be absent, please send a note explaining the reason for the absence. This is a county policy. Not sending a note will result in the absence being marked unexcused. Please be sure to carefully read the County handbook regarding tardiness and absences.
- Any time your child plans to go home from school a different way than they usually do, please send a note to let me know in the morning. They cannot ride another bus without permission from the office.
- Your child will receive a Sand Hill School Agenda. This agenda contains important school information. The agenda should return to school with your child every day! Even though I assign homework on Fridays for the entire week, there may be other information your child needs to note in the agenda. If you choose to communicate with me through a note in the agenda, your child will need to make sure that he/she gets the agenda out and shows it to me.
- Graded test papers will be sent home on Tuesday, sometimes Wednesday, for the previous week. Please review these papers to determine areas in which your child may need extra help at home. We check much of the class work in class. I feel it is important for children to receive immediate feedback on topics they are still learning.
