Parents

Communication

Email and our classroom blog will be my primary modes of communication.  Please send me an email as soon as you can so that I can start to compile my distribution list (kari.lussier@novik12.org).

Snacks


Please send in two NUTRITIONAL snacks with your child every day.  Children need to be able to open the snacks themselves.  Some healthy snack choices include: fruit, plain or cheese crackers, raw vegetables, pretzels, cheese, raisins, popcorn, fruit bar/cereal bar/protein bar/granola bar.  Snacks shoudl be something your cild can consume in about 5 minutes and should fuel your child's brain. Sugary snacks, juice, or soda drinks will not be permitted.  Thank you so much for your help with these requests.

Birthdays

At Deerfield we plan to celebrate your child's birthday in a special way.  We are suggesting that instead of sending in a birthday "treat", you choose one of the options below:

  1. Donate a game for the students to enjoy throughout the year.  We are always in need of games for the students to play during indoor recess!
  2. Donate new pencils/checking pens for the students to use.
  3. Donate Purposeful Play materials such as Legos, blocks, brain teaser activities, etc.
  4. Donate a book to our classroom library.
Please note this is a school policy and food treats are not allowed for birthdays due to food allergies. Thank you for understanding!

Daily Folders
The students will have an "O.W.L." (Organized While Learning) Everyday Folder.  It is expected that your child bring the folder home daily.  Please look through the papers with your child every day to check for information or work to be reviewed.  The folder must be emptied and sent back daily in order for your child to fill it.  Thank you for your help in this matter!

Art Shirt/P.E. Shoes
All children will need an old oversized T-shirt that will cover their clothes for Art class.  Please clearly label it with your child's name. They will be stored in our classroom.  Shirts from last year may be used, as long as they are still large enough to cover your child's clothing.  Also, please be sure to check our special schedule to see what days your child will need to wear P.E. shoes to school.

Specials' Schedule


Monday: P.E. (remember to wear gym shoes)
Tuesday: Art (remember to send in a labeled art shirt for the year)
Wednesday: Music
Thursday: Library/Media (send in books to be returned)

Volunteering

If you would like to volunteer at school. Please make sure you have filled out and returned the volunteer background check form.  You will not be allowed to volunteer for classroom/school activities without having filled this out and getting approved.

Volunteer Background Check Form

Family Directory

School directories will be made and distributed at some point this year.  However, sometimes families want some of this information before the directory is out.  Therefore, we have a Google Spreadsheet that is accessible to you with similar information.  If you would like your child's information accessible to the other students in our classroom, simply put your information into the Google Spreadsheet.  This is completely optional!

Dismissal

When dismissal plans change for your child, I need your help in letting me know so that I can make sure your child gets home safely.  Therefore, if your dismissal plans change from their normal routine, I need you to send me a written note.  Please DO NOT email me changes, as I may not see them in time, or there may be a substitute in which case, they will not receive the message.  If something comes up during the day, please call the office at (248) 449-1700 and they will notify me of the change.
