This week at Benvenue!

Parents and Guardians,

Thank you to all parents and guardians who were able to make our Curriculum Night on Tuesday. I will include the presentations below if you were not able to attend. Please feel to contact your student's teacher if you would like a conference.

Wednesday is Custodian Appreciation Day! We want to thank Mr. Chavis, Mr. Carey, Mr. Jordan, Ms. Dailey, and Ms. Alston for all of their hard work to make our school look nice!

Accelerated Reader will begin for students in grades 1-5. Students have been assessed in their independent reading level and are encouraged to read libraries books and take the comprehension tests for 80% mastery. Teachers will share these levels with you Please encourage your student to bring home their library books to read nightly. Students will be able to take their tests the next day.Our goal is to increase stamina and increase grade level proficiency. You can also get additional books at the Braswell Library based on your student's reading level. You can check if there is an AR test on a particular book at AR Bookfinder-https://www.arbookfind.com/UserType.aspx?RedirectURL=%2fdefault.aspx

Have a great week!

Best,.

Carline Procedures, Arrival and Dismissal

School personnel are on duty at 7:20am in the morning and until 3:20pm in the afternoon. Supervised car drop off will be from 7:20 am-7:55 am. After 7:55 am, students will need to check in through the front office. Student instruction begins promptly at 8:00am. Students cannot be dropped off in the front of the school during 7:20 am-7:55 am due to bus, daycare van, and EC student drop off. Breakfast will end at 7:55am. No outside breakfast will be allowed in class after 7:55am. If your child is a car rider and you would like for your student to eat breakfast, please drop him or her off no later than 7:45am to ensure they are not rushed to eat breakfast in the cafeteria. Students will need to be in class at 8am for instruction to begin.

Early student check out needs to occur by 2:30pm on regular school days and 12:30pm on early release days. After this time, your child needs to be picked up in the carline. A photo ID is REQUIRED for all early checkouts. The person checking out the student MUST be listed on the student's contact card. 

Parents of car riders need to be on campus no later than 3:20pm, otherwise you will need to pick up your student from the office. If a parent is habitually late bringing their child to school or picking them up after 3:20pm, a school social worker referral will take place. Staff members are not available to supervise students who are dropped off early or picked up late. Therefore, it is imperative that all students be dropped off and picked up on time. 

Daycare

Please be sure your teacher knows if your student will be riding a daycare van. We would need to know the Daycare Provide and the Contact Number of this Daycare as well.

Change of Transportation
