Do you ever ask your child how his/her day was at school and hear "it was fine" or not get much information? Use these conversation starters to build daily communication with your student to learn more about the time at school. Consider choosing one question each day.

• What was your special class today? Tell me about what you did in that special class.
• Tell me about two of your classmates that are your friends.
• What did you do at recess today and who did you play with?
• What is the personal pledge? Tell me some of the words in the pledge and when does your class say this?
• What did you have for lunch today and who do you sit by in the cafeteria?
• Did your class do anything special on the smartboard today? What was it?
• Tell me one thing about your day that you really enjoyed. Tell me one thing about your day that you didn't enjoy.
• Tell me about having breakfast in the classroom this year. What is the procedure in your classroom for breakfast?

If you received a letter or email from our school office regarding your child's birth certificate being on file, remember those are due this Friday, Sept. 1. If you did not receive a letter or email then we do have your student's birth certificate on file and you do not need to take any action.

Cheerleaders- your physical must be turned in to the office by tomorrow, Tuesday, Aug. 29, or you will not be able to participate in practice.

Basketball- Any 5th or 6th grader boys or girls who are interested in trying out for the Needmore basketball team will need to have a physical completed before the first day of tryouts. This date has not yet been annoucned but it would be a good idea to go ahead and get the physical scheduled with your doctor and have the form completed by the physician. Physical forms can be picked up in the office or can printed from our website linked here.

If your child is tardy, an adult MUST walk the student into the buildng and sign in at the office.

Call the office to report your child's absence before 8:30am.

The NLCS attendance policy only allows:

• 10 unexcused absences
• 5 parent excused absences

*After 10 unexcused absences tor 10 tardies the school is required to make a report to DCS.

A student's attendance at school is criticial to their educational success!
