Mrs. Davis’s Classroom Information

Welcome to PK 2016-2017.  Below are some important items not to be overlooked this coming year.

• ·       The Prekindergarten students are greeted at the front door of the school by me and our Para educators.  We escort the children to the classroom.
• ·       Music, Library and Gym are once per week for 30 minutes.  Please make sure your child has appropriate footwear and comfortable clothing for Gym. 
• ·       We ask that each child come to school with an extra set of undergarments, seasonably-appropriate socks, pants and a shirt to leave in their locker for emergencies. Extra footwear is optional but recommended (recess and gym).  Labeling your child’s clothing is also a good idea.
• ·       Flip-flops are not allowed on the Playscape area.  Unless it is raining or exceedingly cold we go outside for recess every day.
• ·       If there is a delayed opening, there will be no morning PK.
• ·       If there is an early release from school due to weather, the morning session students stay late and have lunch at school. Students who are picked up from school would still be dismissed at 11:45 AM.  Afternoon session would be canceled. 
• ·       Please provide a backpack large enough to accommodate the folders we will be sending back and forth each day and check the folder daily. 
• ·       Be sure to fill out all necessary paperwork included in your Parent Handbook and return it as soon as possible to school.
• ·       Snack is provided each day.  Be sure to tell the school nurse if your child is allergic to any foods or substances.
• ·       We do celebrate children’s birthdays here at school unless directed otherwise.  Feel free to bring in a celebratory snack.  We can advise you as to number of children and any food restrictions. 
• ·       Toys should stay at home.  There are special days when your child will earn the privilege of bringing a toy to school.
• ·       Please know that eating is not allowed on the school bus for safety.
• ·       The expectation is that children in Prekindergarten are toilet-trained.  We realize that children may need some assistance with toileting, please let us know about any concerns.
• ·       Acquaint yourself with the classroom management system included in your child’s folder.
• ·       If you arrive late and the class has already gone to the classroom, check in at the office and one of our staff will greet you and escort your child to the classroom.

·       Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.  My email is davismj@mansfieldct.org and I will respond as soon as possible to your correspondence.  Or put a note in your child’s folder, we check these daily.
