Arrival/Dismissal: School grounds open at 8:30 a.m. Children may hang their backpacks outside Mod. D and proceed to the playground. Class begins at 9:00 and students will be dismissed from class at 3:13. Please coordinate a meeting-spot with your child and be on time to ensure their safety. In addition, all late arrivals and early pick-ups must be handled through the school office.

 

Snacks: Please send a nutritious snack daily with your child. Midmorning nutrition is essential, as first graders don’t eat lunch until 12:30.

 

Lunch: Please pack healthy food avoiding soda, candy and high sugar items. Students may purchase lunch for $3.00.

 

Absences: If your child is absent, a written note stating the dates and explanation of the absence is needed.

 

Label: All clothing and personal items your child brings to school should be labeled with your child’s last name. Unlabeled, lost items will be sent to the school’s Lost-and-Found outside room 31.

 

Homework: A homework packet will be sent home on the first school day of each week and is due back on the last school day of each week. The district’s guideline for time spent on homework in first grade is approximately 20 minutes daily. Please see us if your child is taking longer than 20 minutes to complete assigned work.

 

Classroom Volunteers: Volunteers help make it all happen! If you would like to help out please let us know. It is possible to work in the classroom weekly, occasionally, or help from home.

 

Flag Assembly: Everyone is welcome to attend Hickory’s weekly flag ceremony held Monday mornings at 9:00 a.m. in the amphitheater (weather permitting).
