Frequently Asked Questions
I have created a FAQ section. If for some reason you
question is not answered here, please e-mail me, call
me or ask me when you drop off or pick up your child.
Can I volunteer whenever I want in my child's class?
Yes, as long as you have filled out a volunteer packet from the
office and
have a valid background check. Once you have been approved you
can come as often as you like, as long as your child does not
become affected by it. We also do not have volunteers in the
classroom until September. This allows us to get our rules and
routines down and have the kids comfortable with us
How else can I help at school?
You can sign up as a Art Masterpiece volunteer. You do
not have to be artistic. All the ideas and materials are provided
for you. If you are interested contact the office and they will
send you in the right direction. This doesn't start till around December.
Do I have to attend Parent Teacher Conferences?
Yes, at PEC we have 4 face to face Parent-Teacher Conferences a
year. During that time we create an ILP, (individual learning
plan), you have to attend and sign the form.
If we go on vacation during school time, does my child need to get work?
Yes, it is a grade on their report card. If you child is going to
be absent please let me know, so I can provide the work they are
missing.
Does my child need snacks or water bottles at school?
Yes! Your child needs to bring a water bottle filled only with
water each day. They also need a healthy snack for afternoon
snack, teachers do not proved snacks. Please do not send in candy
or messy items for snack. Good suggestions are crackers, granola
bars, an apple, grapes, cookies.
What are the school hours?
School begins by 8am. However students are allowed in as early as
7:30 am. Attendance is sent in by 8:05, so if you are running
late you have to drop by the office and get a late pass.
Exceptions are Early dismissal days, which will be marked on your
month calendar.
What should my child bring each day?
A backpack, with their name clearly labeled on it, a lunch box,
or lunch money, snack and a water bottle and their Take home folder
How do I know how my child is doing on a daily basis?
Your child will be taking home a "Daily Take Home Folder". In
their folder will be a behavior calendar. I will be using this
calendar to communicate behavior to you each day. Green means
great, yellow means had a warning, orange means had several
reminders. Red means their behavior was
severe and had a conference with teacher/principal (if needed). All color changes
will have conference with teacher or aide. All color changes will have a time out during centers. Can a child go from green to red? Yes, color changes are based on the severity of behavior.
