SNACK & LUNCH
The children bring a daily snack and lunch from home. These are times to refuel our busy bodies and minds. Please send a healthy snack and ample lunch to give your child the energy he/she needs for the rest of the day. The second grade schedule is quite busy and the pace will pick up as the year progresses. Your child needs to be able to manage his/her snack independently and be able to finish it quickly so we can move on to our next activity. We usually only have 10-15 minutes for Snack and about 45 minutes for Lunch. We do have a microwave but please do not send heat-ups everyday. We do not have enough time to microwave 24 lunches in a 45-minute period. We are a peanut/tree nut free school; please refrain from sending peanut/tree nut products in your child’s snack and lunch. Your child is encouraged to bring a small water bottle (labeled please) to school to keep at his/her table throughout the day.
BIRTHDAYS
We will celebrate birthdays during lunchtime and we invite families to join us from 12:00-12:45. When it is your child’s birthday, bring a sweet treat to share with the class. Remember to follow our peanut/tree-nut restricted school guidelines. We also invite families to donate a book to our classroom library in honor of your child's birthday and we'd love for you to read it to the class. A special book plate with your child's name will be attached to the inside from cover of the book. See our class wish list (coming soon) for suggestions or donate a family favorite! The children who have summer birthday will celebrate their half birthdays.
RECESS
We go outside nearly every day, rain or shine. Please send your child dressed for the weather so he/she can enjoy recess.
CONTACT INFORMATION
We try to check our email several times each day, but cannot promise an immediate response. Please leave a message with the Primary School Office if you have a pressing issue and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

DISMISSAL
PRIMARY SCHOOL DISMISSAL TIMES:
M, W, TH 3:10 p.m.
Tu/Fri 2:10 p.m.
If you plan to pick up from the classroom, please be there 10 minutes before dismissal (arrive by 3:00 or 2:00). Please wait quietly in the hallway and we will send your child out when we are ready. If you miss us at the classroom, please meet us in the Lobby.
If there is a change to your child's dismissal plan, simply login into your School Pass account and make the correction. Teachers and Extended Day staff are notified immediately. School Pass communicates with teachers to let us know when you have arrived and helps the carline run most efficiently.
If you cannot make this change in School Pass or do not use it, please call the Primary School Office (773-702-4543) or the Lab Extended Day Office (773-702-9449) with the relevant information. You can also send Ms. Harrison dismissal changes via email no later than the night before.
Be sure to display the bright blue dismissal sign (with child's and teacher's name) on your dashboard if you use the carline. If you need an additional card made, please let contact the Primary School Office.
