*Caloosa school times are 8:00 am start and 2:15 pm dismissal !!!!  Make note of that change so your child arrives to school on time.  It is very important that they arrive by the 8:00 am start time for announcements and morning work.

 

*IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE WAY YOUR CHILD IS TO GO HOME PLEASE SEND IN A HANDWRITTEN NOTE OR FAX (574-1449).  ALL NOTES MUST HAVE A PARENT/GUARDIAN SIGNATURE.  ANY STUDENT WITHOUT A SIGNED CHANGE OF TRANSPORTATION NOTE WILL BE SENT HOME THE WAY THEY WENT THE DAY BEFORE!

 

*lunch will be from 11:22-11:48, so make sure your child eats a good, healthy breakfast to keep him/her going until that time

 

*send student planner and homework folder into school each and every day with your signature

 

*check your child's planner each night for important information

 

*when sending your child's lunch money in, please place it in an envelope with his/hers name on the front

 

*please inform me of any school activities and/or celebrations your child is not allowed to participate in-such as: holiday events, birthdays, photographs, etc.

 

*write your child's name on his/her book bag and lunch box

 

*if your child would like to have ice cream on 'ice cream' day, you will need to send the $.50 in an envelope with their name on it and that it is for ice cream, money can not be taken out of your child's account

 

*look for an AR book in your child's book bag every night, starting shortly, they must read every night to meet their AR goals, they will need to take at least 1 AR test a day (I like to see them take 2 or 3) and acheive at least 85% on the quiz.
