Frequently Asked Questions
Right now these are some of the answers to what were some commonly asked questions for our school year.  
​I'll be updating this as we navigate through this time to try and give you an answer to all of the new questions you may have.


​What are the Math Power Up papers that come home each day in the Homework Folder?

The Math Power Up paper is work that the students have done that day as a warm-up to the Math lesson. It usually involves some mental Math and some problem solving strategies. The student is required to do this on their own with no help, but it is always followed with checking the answers together and clarification of any parts that were not understood. This sheet also may include answers given to the lesson that was taught, but these are checked together in class as well. This paper never needs to be sent back to school.

May my child bring a snack and water bottle to school?
Yes!  It is preferred that they bring a healthy snack, but that is not required.  There is a time for them to eat a snack mid-morning.  They may also bring a water bottle of their choosing. 

Do Fourth Graders need to change clothes for gym?
Changing clothes for gym is optional, although each student needs to have tennis shoes designated exclusively for gym class. Changing clothes in the locker room is considered a privilege and this privilege may be taken from time to time due to repeated conflicts in the locker room or taking too long to change.

What time does school actually begin and end?
Students may make their way to the classroom between 7:55 and 8:10. This gives them time to put away their things and prepare themselves for the day. Students walking in the classroom door after 8:15 will need to go back to the office to get a tardy slip.  

The school day for Elementary ends at 2:50. 

What should I do if my child seems to be spending an extreme amount of time studying Spelling words?
Perhaps they need a reduction in the amount of words they are studying.  Simply send me an email to see if an adjustment needs to be made.

Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.
I will proclaim the name of the Lord.  Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.  -  Deuteronomy 32:2-4
