Class starts right at the 8:00 AM bell. It is important that all students arrive to school not later than 7:55 AM. If, for any reason your child must be late for school, we ask you to call the reception (600-7681 ext. 100). When late, students need to get a late slip from the receptionist and bring it to the classroom.
These notebooks are vitally important to good communication between home and school. They also develop organizational skills and responsibility. Parents, please make sure your child shows you his/her notebook each weekend and please remember to sign your name.
At the end of the day each student is required to copy their homework in their homework notebook. Homework will not be posted on our class page. Assignments missed due to absences can be made up. If a student forgets their homework they are required to fill out a "Missing Homework Slip" and need to stay in at recess so they can finish their work.
Lunch tickets can be purchased in the reception area before 8:00 AM and during morning recess in the cafeteria. Please, review the menu with your child whenever s/he will eat school lunch. Our monthly school menu is published on the school’s web site.
Children are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school and healthy snacks. Students can drink water at their desk, but snacks should be eaten during recess and lunch.
Please, send sunscreen (allergy tested) for your child, a wide brimmed hat. and a pair of sun glasses (UV marked are best), all labeled with your child’s name.
I welcome open communication between us, and value parents’ input. If you have questions, concerns, or any thoughts about your child that you would like to share with me, please feel free to contact me. I try to return phone calls and e-mails the same day I receive them. My e-mail address is GLacuesta@uas.edu.uy.
Each fourth grader is allowed to check out four library books per week. They are due a week from the date they have been checked out. If children would like to extend their time with a book, they can check it out again for one more week. The class library offers many options for reading material.
(Drop Everything and Read) is an activity in which everyone in our class, including teachers, takes time out to read a book of their choice. We all relax and read for 15 to 20 minutes. It is important for each student to have a book that they enjoy.
If your child has been prescribed medicine and needs to take it during school hours, please contact Elisa Pereira, our school Nurse to receive information regarding school policy on administering prescription medicine. You may contact Elisa Pereira at epereira@uas.edu.uy
Please send a toothbrush and toothpaste properly labeled to school. Children are required to brush their teeth after lunch.
Please inform the school of any change of address, phone number, or e-mail address immediately. Thank you.
