Curriculum Information Night
What is Curriculum Information Night? Its an opportunity for you to hear directly from your child’s teacher about what you can expect this year. Beginning at 6:30 p.m on either September 10th (K-2) or September 11th (grades 3-5) you will first go to the café to learn more about our school performance data and school improvement plan, and then report to your child’s classroom. The teacher will outline the daily schedule, discuss the curriculum, and tell you what to expect this school

Morning Drop-Off Procedures
Students should arrive on campus between 7:45 a.m. and 7:55, unless they’re eating breakfast at school. Children eating breakfast may come as early as 7:15 a.m. and report to the café.
Beginning at 7:45 a.m. and until school starts at 8:00, parents are asked to drop off children in the Circle Drive where teachers and staff are on hand to help children from their cars.
If you wish to walk your child onto the school grounds, you must legally park your car; remember, there is absolutely no parking allowed during drop-off in the Circle Drive or on School Street, or in any other illegal parking area (see the Parking Map included in the red In The Know handbook). Prior to the 7:55 a.m. bell, students in grades K, 1 and 4 line up in the covered area near the playground, while students in grades 2, 3 and 5 convene in the area near the Circle Drive. If you choose to walk with your child in the morning, you are asked to help them develop strong routines by finding the appropriate area to line up and wait to enter the building. On very rainy days, students wait inside the school building in the main hallway until the 7:55 a.m. bell rings.

School begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. Children should be in their classroom ready to learn when the bell rings at 8:00 a.m. Any child arriving at school after the announcements begin will be considered tardy. An automated call will be sent to your home to alert you of the tardy for your convenience.
Afternoon Dismissal and the Pick-up Line
School dismisses each day at 3:15 p.m. We ask that you help us with a safe dismissal by using the car pick-up line. You received a new pick-up number in your first day packet (bright orange). Please fold that in half and place on your dashboard so that the number is clearly visible to us as you move through the line. Please also make sure your child knows the number. If everyone does their part, the pick-up line will move more smoothly.
Please note, the pick-up line begins forming just after 3:00. Please enter the line on Greenbriar, traveling from Holcombe toward the school. Please use the map below to help you get in line at the proper location. The green bars indicate locations for legal parking if you prefer to walk up to the dismissal area on School Street. Please do not come to the classroom door to pick up your child.
What's in the Ancillary Rotation?
Here is the bite-size description of what your child is doing at school during ancillary.

Art
Ms. Herrick has a scope and sequence that allows students to build
art skill from year to year with work in 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art forms.
Music
Ms. Sauer will continue to teach students to read music, use
tone and pitch for choral music, and learn the recorder in upper grades as a
transition to an instrument at the middle school level. New this year, all students in grades 3-5 will participate in a musical stage production, learning the music of the chorus in the music ancillary class.
PE.
Mr. Lytton is joined again this year by Coach J to offer
two days of PE in each 6-day ancillary rotation. We are thrilled to be
able to again offer more time for physical activity to improve student health.
Academic Skills Lab (ASL)
Ms. Anderson and Ms. Loeri work together to provide an opportunity for students
to learn keyboarding and basic computer skills, but it is not only about
learning to use the computer. The ASL is an opportunity for students to
use technology to learn other disciplines. This allows teachers to
differentiate and give children more time on task for critical areas specific
to each student. A student who is struggling with automaticity of math
facts can spend time working on First in Math or DreamBox, while a GT student may spend
more time on Renzulli. Students who want to work on language proficiency
may
Science Lab
Ms. Savarese
will continue to offer hands-on science lessons that coordinate and enhance the
science learning from the classroom. Each class has an assigned science time that
may be different from the regular time ancillaryis scheduled the other days of
the rotation.
