Homer Elementary
October 2022
Message from Mrs. Uhl
Attendance:
- Reminder that school begins at 8:00. If students arrive after that, they will be marked tardy.
- If your child is going to be absent, this needs to be communicated to the office and their classroom teacher. If this is a planned absence, please contact the teacher prior to receive any classwork that they will be missing. This is expected to be completed and returned in a timely manner.
After School Tutoring:
- This is offered to students grades 3rd-6th. Students are identified through data and classroom observations.
- Grade 3 - ONLY Tuesdays and Thursday - 3:30-4:15
- Grades 4-6 - Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays - 3:30-4:15.
- There will be no tutoring on early dismissal days.
Breakfast:
- Students will have until 7:55 to come to the lunchroom to purchase a breakfast meal from the school.
- This is to ensure that students have adequate time to eat their meals and arrive to class at time.
Lunches:
- K-6 Cold Lunches -
Microwaves are available for students to use to warm up their cold lunches brought from home. Please limit the amount of time to warm up a meal to no more than 2 minutes. This will ensure that we have ample time for all students to reheat their meals. This should not be a time to fully cook a meal, instead to quickly reheat a meal.
- Grades 3-6 Lunch:
The a la carte items will no longer be available for students in grades 3-6 to purchase. This includes the chips, fruit rollups, additional drinks, etc.
Through observing lunches, these are being purchased and not eaten, purchased and given to classmates, purchased and eaten instead of the main meal. Students will still have access to get seconds on the main entrees and as always salad bar is unlimited.
We have looked at different options on how to improve this situation and believe this will be the best choice to ensure the students are consuming a healthy meal during their lunch time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Mrs. Uhl (712-389-0907).
