Dismissal
School gets out at 3:00 at the bus loop. If you are not here by 3:20 you will need to go to the office to pick up your child.
Please have your blue dismissal sign ready when you pick up your child whether you come in a car (must stay in your car) or walk up.
Teachers MUST call your child’s name before they may leave.
For changes in your child’s transportation, please do one of the following:
call the office 817-305-4860
email your child’s teacher
send a note to school with your child.
If you have notified the teacher that a different person will be picking up, please be sure that person has your child’s dismissal sign. This is their ticket for picking up your child.

Extra Lunch Money:
Want your child to be able to buy snacks or extra items at lunch time. Payments may be entered online at myschoolbucks.com.
Lunch menu can be found on the GCISD website along with a form to fill out if you would like to place restrictions on your child’s lunch account (ex. limiting desserts, snacks, etc.)
Snack
* No nuts!
* No juice/anything except for water
* Food must be solid (no yogurt/applesauce)
Since we have snack time in our classroom these rules will help keep our room clean and our friends safe!
Shoes & Clothes
*Be sure they have tennis shoes EVERY DAY
to wear during P.E. and recess. (This means no crocs either)
*Be sure to send a change of weather appropriate clothes with underwear, and socks in your child’s backpack for unforeseen incidents (accidents, mud, who knows?)
*Please practice putting on new articles of clothing at home first. (jeans, buckles, zippers, etc.)
P.S: Students should be bringing their backpacks every day!
Important Information
Be sure to leave all toys, jewelry, key chains, fidget spinners and electronic devices at home. These can be distracting and risk getting lost if brought to school. Teachers are not responsible for lost student toys.
Please write your child’s first and last name on things you send to school: mask, lunchboxes, jackets, backpacks, snacks, water bottles, etc. This will help us return lost items ASAP ☺

Take care of own bathroom needs
Do their morning jobs (put away folders, carry and put away backpack, etc.)
Button, zip and snap own clothing, buckle their belts, and tie/velcro their shoes.
Daily Folders
Students will take these to and from school DAILY!
Please initial calendar every night! Even on the good days! ☺
Please remember to empty the folder every night.
Always check for important information, dates, classwork, etc.
Set up a nightly routine for going through the daily folder and discussing your child’s day together.
