Ms. Leahy­Jones Lost and Found Items Please be sure and put your child’s name on anything that comes to school, especially on coats, jackets, hats and gloves. We try very hard to make sure that items are re­united with their owners, but with 390 possibilities, the name can really help. Feel free to stop by and check our L&F Closet, it is quite full of jackets and sweaters. Students Who Have Good Attendance Do Well In School ​
​
Attendance is critical to instruction in school. We have noticed that a number of children are late each day. I urge you to make it a priority to have a morning routine where children have ample time to get up, get dressed, eat breakfast and get to school on time. Using the school bus helps with the routine. Students are late if they arrive after 9:15 a.m. They must stop in the office to sign in and get a late pass. Students who are habitually late miss important directions and class work. Parents will be notified when tardiness is excessive and will be asked to attend a conference to discuss ways to resolve the problem. Please make every effort to limit the amount of school missed due to appointments. Teachers plan instruction through 3:45 p.m. and students are responsible for making up work missed if they are not in class. Pay for your child’s lunch on line MyLunchMoney.com is a service which allows parents to make prepayments to their child’s cafeteria account with a credit/debit card using the Internet. Once the account is established, you can check balances, view student purchases, set up recurring payments, and receive low balance e­mail notification. Prepayments will generally be available at the school the next day. Go to ​
