Breakfast and Lunch School Breakfast is served from 7:30-8:00 a.m. Your child may bring breakfast from home or purchase from school. Breakfast is eaten in our classroom. Lunch is served at 10:50 a.m. in the cafeteria. Your child may buy a school lunch or milk, or bring their lunch from home. You may eat lunch with your child, but we ask that you do not begin doing this until September to allow us time to get our routine established. There will be several days throughout the year where LQA is in session, but the rest of the school district is not. Our first day of school, August 1, is one of those days. Your child will have to bring a home lunch on those days.

Discipline Pick up/Drop off Stop Light Behavior Management System Enter/exit through the LQA door; late arrivals or early dismissals must go through office Enter from 6:30-8:50 a.m. and pick up from 3:50-6:00 p.m. Anyone picking up a student for the first time will be asked to show ID Sign your child in and out each and every day

Curriculum The HighScope Curriculum emphasizes adult-child interaction, a carefully designed learning environment, and a plan-do-review process that strengthens initiative and self-reliance in children and young people.

Classroom Assessments Your child will be assessed a few times a year. We will hold parent teacher conferences in the fall. Progress reports will go home in Oct. Dec. and May. At any time, feel free to contact me if you have questions, concerns or comments regarding your child.
