     Kindergarten 101 

    K Hours: 11:10-2:30pm (except Thursdays) Every Thursday is minimum day and ALL students attend from 7:50-11:10am. Our gate will be locked during school hours. Parents will only be allowed on campus if they sign-in through the office. At dismissal, students must wait behind the gate and will be excused after they tell me “good-bye” and I verify who they are leaving with. If you choose to use our K drive circle, stay in your vehicle - I will walk your child to you. If your child does not know how to put on their seat belt, please park on the street and walk up.

    What to Bring: All students will need a book bag or backpack (no wheels) and snack (see below) every day. Each student will also need a headset (to use with their Chromebook in class). All other supplies are provided at school.

    Snacks: Students will need to bring a nutritious snack every day. Unfortunately, we have bees/ants that tend to attack students who bring sugary, sticky snacks, so try to avoid those. Please do not send items that your child cannot open and/or manage on their own (ex: lunchable pizzas, gogurts, fruit cups, etc.). No thermoses – unless your child has mastered the art of opening and closing them. 

    Homework: Homework will be assigned online through ClassLink using Savvas Easybridge (for Math) and McGraw-Hill ConnectEd (for ELA). Please be sure to click the “submit button” after completing each assignment. We will also be sending home some homework/projects throughout the year. 

    Apple of the Week: Each student will be chosen to be “Apple of the Week”. You will need to decorate a poster featuring your child (pictures of family/friends/pets/etc.). I will inform you at least one week before your child’s selected week and give you more information. 

    Spirit Day: Every Friday is "Spirit Day" at BRE. You can purchase a Butterfield t-shirt in our office and/or wear our school colors - orange and blue.

    Birthdays: On your child's birthday we will celebrate by singing a special birthday song (your child will help create the song and bring home the words). Students are allowed to pass out non-food items for birthdays (ie: stickers, pencils, etc.)

    Classroom Rules: Our rules are very important for maintaining a safe and productive learning environment. Students who break the rules are given a warning and reminder. If the behavior continues the consequence will be a loss of fun Friday.  PLEASE CHECK BACKPACK DAILY FOR ANY IMPORTANT NOTES.  Our BRE “S.T.A.R.” rules are:

    1.   Safety first 

    2.  Take responsibility 

    3.  A+ attitude 

    4.  Respect yourself and others 

    Teacher Expectations: 

    1. Students should be able to write their first name (first letter capitalized, the rest lowercase). 

    2. Students should be able to use a pair of scissors. 

    3. Students should be able to sit for short periods of time without interrupting their neighbors.
