Lighthouse Handbook

Below you will find the handbook for all kindergarten/ first grade parents at our school. Click on each page to zoom in on the image. You will receive a hard copy of this information on the first day of school, but I wanted to give you a heads up. Let me know if there are any questions you after while reading through this.

Fun at Meet The Teacher

It was great seeing so many friends at Meet the Teacher Day today! Thank you Jordyn, Deion, Justin, Jayla, Yirong, and Courtland for coming to see the classroom! I hope you liked it! If you weren't able to come in today and see the classroom you and your student are still welcome! I'll be at school planning for the school year with the other teachers  tomorrow and all next week. Just send me an email and let me know if you plan to come in. kwoolsey@uprep.com

Also, today I saw a commercial for uniform shirts for $3.99 at "Kids For Less" in Redford Oaks Shopping Center and Northland Mall. 

Schoolbelles is a school uniform store that carries UPA's uniform requirements for Plaid jumpers and skirts. One location is in Madison Heights at the Farnum Place Shopping Center and the other location is in Westland, at the Westland Crossing Plaza. 

I hope all this uniform information is helpful! I'll post if I see any more good deals in the area on uniforms. Let me know if you have any questions!

UPA Healthy School & Uniform Policy

As the school year approaches, I just wanted to be sure parents were aware of these two important policies at UPA. Let me know if you have any questions!

Because UPA is a healthy school, lunches from home may not contain sweets, pop, chips, or junk food. Any unhealthy food will be sent back home with the student. A great alternative to chips are pretzels, goldfish, baked lays, cheese-its, or crackers. A healthy alternative to sweets are granola bars, pudding, or 100 calorie packs. Fruit juice, water, or milk are great drink choices. Check out this article for more tips and ideas of what to put in a healthy school lunch.

Healthy Lunch Ideas

Please be sure your student is in uniform each day. Uniform violations will be sent home if students are missing any part. If a student has belt loops, please send them in a plain brown or black belt, no glitter belts. (To help prevent accidents, help your child practice undoing their own belt.) Socks must be black or white. Shirts must have a collar and be tucked in for both boys and girls. See these flyers for more help (Click on them to see a full sized image) and please let me know if there are any questions or concerns.

One Quick Reminder: This Thursday, August 25th is "Meet the Teacher Day." I will be in a meeting until 10:30, so please come after then to see the classroom.
