Make sure your student wears sunscreen that day. Everyone needs to bring a water bottle with their name on it. There will be water games so send a towel with your student. Please send a lunch from home. We will not be eating in the cafeteria on Field Day. There will be a concession stand. Your child may bring cash for the concession stand. (cash needs to be sent in labeled baggie). This is a fundraiser for 4th grade.

Snacks/ Water Bottles/ Lunches

Please send 2 "dry" snacks daily. Since everyone has a day when they may forget, we would love donations for the class...Goldfish, animal crackers, pretzels work great(no snacks that contain any type of nut). Any donations are appreciated! Please send a spill/leak proof bottle for water only with their name on it.

Students may bring a lunch from home or get a hot lunch from the cafeteria. Click here for info on cafeteria lunches.

Backpack/ Extra Clothes/ Supplies

All students will need to bring a full sized backpack daily. Please make sure you have a full set of clothes (including socks) in the backpack in case of accidents/spills. Make sure your child's name is on everything.

School supplies are provided for the PK classroom, so there is no need to send any extra.

Tennis Shoes/Clothing

Please send your child to school in tennis shoes EVERY day! We will be having both playground time and PE daily. Students are required to wear tennis shoes for PE participation. Thank you for your help with this! We want our students to be comfortable and wearing safe, appropriate shoes for physical activities. Keep in mind we have lots of playtime outside and do messy art projects, so keep that in mind when choosing school outfits. We recommend that special accessories like umbrellas, rain boots, hats, scarves, mittens, etc. be kept at home as they are often lost at school.
