***SNACK INFORMATION***We are asking that if your child brings a lunch to please keep snack and lunch separate. Some of the students are confused on what is for snack and what is for lunch. This will help with the confusion. Also please send a snack everyday. Thank you so much! Please no gum.

***Lunch Money- Money sent in for lunch needs to be in an envelope labeled with childs first and last name, lunch number and teacher name. Thank you! I also wanted to let you know that at lunch we can not heat food for the students. We do help them open containers though!

***Headphones-If you have not sent in a pair of headphones for your child please do so asap.

***Purple folders- Please send the purple folders everyday. We use those for daily communication as well as to send your childs work home.

***Behavior sheets-Please send the calendar that we mark for behavior everyday! Thanks so much! We want to keep you informed of any issues we are having.
