Frequently Asked Questions...
Q. What do we do when we get to school in the morning?
A. If you eat breakfast, you will eat in the cafeteria downstairs. If you do not eat breakfast, you will go straight to the gym (also downstairs, next to the cafeteria). At 7:50 a.m., students will be dismissed from the gym and will go to the classroom.
Q. Can we bring a water bottle?
A. Even though there are water fountains and bottle fillers available, we encourage students to bring water bottles to keep in the classroom each day. Students must bring/use their own water bottles. Water bottles must have a lid in order to prevent spills. Please refrain from sending a Stanley or similar cups with straws as those do not prevent spills.
Q. Can we bring a snack?
A. Students are allowed to bring a healthy snack each day. Students can eat snacks when they are hungry; however, the best time is after specials or recess. Students are not allowed to share snacks with their friends.
Q. How long is Recess?
A. We love recess and get 30 minutes to go outside and PLAY each day!
Q. Will there be homework?
A. The number one question from 3rd graders...will I have homework? The answer is NO! We know how important it is to play and have family time, so we are respectful of your home time. However, be sure to use your class time wisely so you can get all your work done in class or you will get behind.
Q. Do we earn letter grades?
A. Yes, so always remember to try your best!
Q. Is 3rd grade going to be awesome?
