Texas Pre-K Guidelines & LCISD Curriculum
Assessments – observations, checklist, CIRCLE testing
(students are assessed 3 times a year)
Homework Reading – read each night to your child. The more exposure they have to books and the more your child is exposed to language, the better they will learn at school. Periodically, projects will be sent home to complete. A note will be sent home in your child’s daily folder. Please email your child’s teacher for ideas and tips on how to keep your child learning at home.
Classroom Management Behavior will be recorded on child’s conduct calendar sheet in the daily folder. We will use Class Dojo for classroom management. Dojo points: students will use these to purchase items from the treasure box each Friday.
Dojo Points/Shopping Children will earn Dojo Points throughout the week for various things such as appropriate behavior, following rules/directions, working, etc. Children will spend their points on Friday to purchase items from the classroom treasure box. Donations for treasure box is greatly appreciated! (no candy or food but rather bouncy balls, pencils, rings, cars, bubbles, etc…)

Absences/ Each child is expected to be punctual
and at school. State Law requires
Attendance students to attend school. In case of
an absence from school, parents need
to send a written excuse on the day
their child returns describing the
reason for their absence. The campus
provides a form, if needed, on our
website. If a child is absent five
consecutive days or more, a doctor’s
excuse is required. Communication will
be sent home by the district
regarding absences. Adolphus has an
Attendance Review Committee (ARC)
that will review documentation
regarding absences.

VISITORS
If the County's COVID-19 Risk Level is at Red, all District campuses and
facilities will screen visitors during the school day and staff will utilize
virtual meetings and electronic communication options when necessary.
Afterschool groups, parent organizations and other visitors can visit our
campuses before/after school hours and during student holidays.
Parents who wish to have lunch with their student(s) will sit in a
designated area, as determined by the campus.
ARD, 504 and LPAC meetings can be held virtually or in-person at the
request of the parent/guardian. Campuses should designate an area near
the front of the building for these meetings.
If you would like to have lunch with your child, there will be a sign-up
sheet at the front office because of limited spacing in our cafeteria.
Thank you for your understanding. We have a limit of 6 visitors per
designated lunch time.TRANSPORTATION CHANGES ❖ Shouldbe RARE and made only as a LAST RESORT. For safety purposes it is best to maintain a consistent mode of transportation for your child. ❖ Bestpractice is to send a written note to the school with your child. Send a note or call the office.

Transportation Change Note Any change in transportation must be made prior to 2:25 PM. ❖ Please do not email the teacher; they are busy teaching students.

Sick Children If your child is sick: Children must be free of fever (less than 100.0 degrees) for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications (such as Tylenol or Advil / Motrin) before returning to school. Children must be free of diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school and need to be eating and drinking without any problem. If a child vomits two or more times within 24 hours, they will need to stay home for at least 24 hours to ensure they are not contagious. Please call the school nurse if your child has been diagnosed with a contagious condition such as pink eye, strep throat, chicken pox, head lice, impetigo, ringworm, flu or has vomiting and/or diarrhea.
Clothing Students PK-1st grade should have a change of clothing including underwear, bottoms, shirt and socks (all within school code) in a plastic bag in their backpack. While your student may not tend to have accidents at home, it is not unusual during an adjustment time to the schedule of school for accidents to happen. Also, it is recommended that your student of all grade levels have extra bottoms/shirt (also dress code) available in their backpack. Students often spill breakfast/lunch on themselves or get muddy at recess and this will help ensure your student has clean, dry clothes that fit available to them.
Peanut Free Classrooms
Classrooms are to be peanut free. A child with a serious peanut allergy
can suffer a reaction merely by touching or smelling a peanut-containing
food. Therefore, we are asking parents to adhere to the following: •
Please do not send any peanuts, peanut butter or foods containing
peanuts or peanut butter to be eaten as snacks in the classroom. • We
will not be doing any class projects that involve peanuts or peanut butter.
Please do not send any projects containing peanuts/peanut butter. • Any
food sent in to share with students should be limited to one item per
classmate and should be a store purchased single serve item (i.e. cookie,
cupcake, etc.) with an ingredient list which is peanut free. Single serve
items also allow for the treat to be served, eaten and cleaned up within a
reasonable amount of time. The above does not apply to lunches, only to
classroom snacks. We are trying to ensure the safety of all our children.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We know that in working
together we strive to create a safe environment for all students.Life-Threating Illness Food Allergies: Food allergies can be life threatening. The risk of accidental exposure to foods can be reduced in the school setting if schools work with students, parents, and physicians to minimize risks and provide a safe educational environment for food-allergic students. Provide written medical documentation, instructions, and medications as directed by a physician, using the Food Allergy Action Plan as a guide. Include a photo of the child on the written form. If your student has Asthma, this can turn into a life-threatening situation if there is no inhaler for student at school. Please make sure to provide an asthma action plan and inhaler for your student in case of emergency. If your child has seizures, or history of, please provide a seizure action plan and any emergency medication needed.
Medications
Children are not permitted to carry medication including cough drops. ALL
MEDICATION must be administered from the clinic. Over the counter
medication for less than 6 weeks must be accompanied by a note from the
parent authorizing administration of the medication, reason and dose, time
and amount. Parents must deliver the medication to the clinic and bring only
the necessary amount for school. ALL medication must be in the original
container. All prescription medication must be in the original pharmacy
container with the child’s name, medication date and dosing instructions. A
second bottle from the pharmacy can be requested from the pharmacy by the
parent for the school clinic. Medications such as antibiotics for 3 times a day
or every 8 hours are to be given at home. Just follow a before breakfast,
after school and before bedtime schedule. *There are no "stock
medications" in the clinic such as Tylenol, Motrin, Tums, etc. Medications
can only be sent for the student by the parent or guardian.Where Can I find the appropriate Paperwork For any medications or actions plans your child may need, you can find these on the Adolphus website. Once to Adolphs Website, click on ABOUT, and then NURSE'S NOTES and all paperwork will be to the left of the screen. You may also contact the nurse for forms.

take care of minor injuries in classroom.
