Back-to-School

Back-to-School Checklist

 


Plan for the first day of school

  • Start those bedtime routines a bit earlier in the days leading up to school, so that your child is well-rested.
  • Laurel teachers (with the support of the Laurel PTO) provide all the necessary classroom supplies for every student.
  • Decide how your child will commute to school and practice the trip before school starts. Click here for information.
  • Please label all items. Things can get lost or misplaced easily.

 

Pack up and prepare

Children in all grades:

  • Must wear shoes with backs (no flip flops or slides) please.
  • Bring a large backpack big enough to fit an 8 1/2 x 11 folder;
  • snack to eat at morning recess; and
  • lunch - either sign up for Hot Lunch in advance or send along a lunchbox/brown bag labeled with your child's name.

Laurel teachers (with the support of the Laurel PTO) provide all the necessary classroom supplies for every student.

 

Know where to go

  • At the Lower Campus (grades TK-2),
    • students in transitional kindergarten and kindergarten assemble at the kindergarten playground.
    • students in grades 1 & 2 play in the Main Yard.
  • At the Upper Campus (grades 3-5), students play in the Main Yard.
  • When the bell rings, students are to "Freeze, hands on knees!"
  • Then the morning yard duty blows a whistle twice, and students go to their classrooms.

 

Attend the Back to School Coffee

Parents are invited to the Back-to-School Coffee on the first day of school to catch up with friends, sign up to volunteer, and meet our After-School Program vendors at both Lower and Upper Campus from 8:30 - 9:30 AM
