What should I do if my child is absent from school?

Upon returning to school you should send in a note explaining why your 
child was absent. You have 3 days or the absence will be considered 
unexcused.  The note should be handed in to Ms. Marcus. Please 
refer to your Parent Handbook regarding excused absences.  You may 
also find what constitutes an excused absence here: 
                              Absent? Parents must have an excuse.

When is my child considered tardy to school?

School begins at 8:30 each day.  The classroom door is open at 8:20

How and when can my child celebrate his/her birthday at school?

Birthday invitations to parties can be handed out in school only if all members of the 
class are included.   If you would like to bring a special snack for your child’s birthday, 
please let me know several days in advance.  All treats should be individual servings or 
pre-cut and ready to serve.  Birthday treats will be served during our regular lunchtime.

Do the boys and girls get to visit the school library?

Our class visits the library twice a week, usually on Tuesday and 
for a short time on Friday for book check-out.(unknown this year)

**When can I speak with Ms. Marcus about my child?

  
Ms. Marcus will speak with you at any appropriate time. 
     I cannot speak with parents when I am taking attendance and trying to escort my    
     students to Spanish.  I might be able to speak with you after this time or after    
     school but it is probably better to arrange for a formal conference by writing a letter
     or by emailing me with your request.
