  • Frequently Asked Questions

    How can I volunteer in my son's/daughter's classroom?

    There will be multiple opportunities for volunteers throughout the school year. As these come up you will receive an email via Skyward or a paper will be sent home. To assist in our classrooms at West Vincent you will need to have your clearances on file. You can access more information on this here ---> https://www.ojrsd.com/Page/204

    What is our homework policy?

    Your child is allowed to miss one homework assignment. Every missed assignment after that, they will owe 5 minutes of recess to review the skill practiced on the homework. However, I understand that things come up after school; I can remember the many sports and activities I participated in at their age! If your child is unable to complete a homework assignment, please email me that night or before the start of school, and they will be excused.

    What may I send in for snack?

    Please send in a healthy snack for your son/daughter each day. Students are not permitted to share snacks; please reiterate this to your child. Additionally, absolutely no nuts are allowed in our classroom as we do have classmates with allergies.

    Where can I find school menus?

    Can my son/daughter have a birthday celebration at school?

    Yes! We love birthdays in room 106! You are welcome to send in a healthy store bought snack if you would like. We do have allergies and must not have any nuts whatsoever. If you are unsure if a snack is acceptable to bring in, please feel free to email me. Some other alternatives may be pencils, stickers, or bookmarks! During our snack time your son/daughter will have an opportunity to hand out their snack or gift, and we will sing them happy birthday! If your son/daughter has a birthday that falls over the weekend, I am more than willing to have a celebration during the week. If you have any additional questions please contact me!

    How do our "Caught Being Good" tickets work?

    Students can earn caught being good tickets any time they act as a role model, help a classmate, or act in a way that positively impacts the class. As they accumulate tickets they can buy prizes such as teacher chair for the day or crazy pencils/erasers.

    How can I help my child study?

    Studying can be a difficult task for anyone! Here is a document that provides a few tips on how to study effectively --- >https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/3ba70a56-9743-4ff4-b65a-184c41273dd5/how_to_study.pdf?id=82378
