Coming to Arcadia?
The First Day of School for Kindergarten is usually one week later than the rest of the students begin. Remember what time your child is scheduled for school and get ready for pick-up three hours later. Enjoy the experience of seeing your child off to school.
Immunizations must be completed before school starts to comply with Utah Law, or the appropriate exemption sought.
Kindergarten teachers: Mrs. Rebekah Spencer instructs in the morning in Room 1. Mrs. Jan Partridge teaches morning and afternoon sessions in Room 2.
Ensuring well-being: Help your child get accustomed to our school grounds. Visit the school in the evenings and let them play on the swings and slides when it is cooler. Help them know their teacher’s name and the room number.
Drop-off and pick-up: Parents are asked to park their vehicles and wait with their children at the east side doors; no parking in the unloading zone is permitted. A.M. students enter their classrooms through the east side exterior doors. After 8:40, students must come to the office for a tardy slip.
Afternoon students gather at the entrance and Mrs. Partridge will pick them up at 12:20 on regular days, and at 11:10 on short days. Parents are expected to pick up their students after school at the respective exterior classroom doors. If parents are late, students will be held at the office for a reasonable time. We will contact the parents after that.
Medical or academic needs and accommodations must be shared with your child’s teacher and the front office—Mrs. Debbie Richardson, School Secretary, or the principal. We work as a team to serve and assist your student/s and you.
NO meds with kids at school: Please, please be aware that children must not bring any medications with them for any reason. Any medication for administration at school must have a doctor’s prescription, with the paperwork for administration, properly labeled container with child’s name, name of medicine, time of day, dosage amount, and instructions. Call us with any questions, please.
Thanks.
