SUPPLIES
You will need to provide supplies listed on the supply list. We will have gym on Monday and Wednesday. Please make sure your child has gym shoes for gym days. All other supplies will be at school. Please do not send extra supplies for your child.
LUNCHES
Breakfast and lunches will be provided to students at no cost. If you wish to purchase extras, you are welcome to do so. Please send in a note if your child plans to purchase any extras. Money can be added to your child’s account using the “Pay School Central” mobile app or money/check (made payable to Marlboro Cafeteria) can be sent to school. Please put any money in a sealed envelope or Ziploc bag clearly marked with your CHILD’S NAME and WHAT IT IS FOR.
RECESS
Please send appropriate clothing for the weather. We go outside in various weather conditions. Boots, mittens, and hats are necessary winter articles. Also, please do not send a note saying, “Keep my child indoors for recess,” as we cannot leave a child by him/herself in the classroom.
LABELING
It is very important that all clothing and school materials have your child’s name on them.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS
All personal Toys and electronics must stay at home unless we have a special day for show and tell, which will be communicated to you.
WATER BOTTLES
Your child is expected to bring a water bottle to use at school. If needed we can refill the water bottle at school. Please use leak proof water bottles and fill them with WATER ONLY. Water bottles will go home daily to be cleaned and refilled.
BIRTHDAYS
You are welcome to send a treat on your child’s birthday. Please make arrangements with your child’s teacher PRIOR to sending in birthday treats. ALL treats MUST be prepackaged and store bought. Homemade birthday treats will NOT be accepted. Non-food items are also a great option! If your child has a summer birthday, we will choose an unbirthday so your child can still celebrate with us. We will recognize all August birthdays the first month of school and June and July summer birthdays at the end of the school year.
SCHOOL HOURS
School begins at 8:25 a.m. Tardy bell rings at 8:40 a.m. By 3:00 all students will be dismissed. Busses will begin boarding at 2:45, Pick-up will be dismissed at 2:45 and Latchkey at 3:00.
DISMISSAL
Parents dropping off or picking up students will use the far west driveway. Cars are not permitted on the loop in front of the school at this time. Please send a detailed note regarding any change in your child’s routine whether it be going to latchkey, riding home in a car, or riding the bus. Due to the current situation we are requiring all students to wear masks while on the bus.
BUSSING
When your child is being dropped off by the bus after school, an adult must be visible or your child will be returned to school and you will have to come pick him/her up. When your child is boarding or exiting the bus it is very important that he/she watch and follow the bus drivers signals and stand far enough away from the bus to see the bus driver and his/her signals. Backpacks should be free of dangling material that can be caught and no breakables are permitted on the bus.
