Ready to learn

Setting up routines

Why the difference? One reason is that Bruce’s family establishes daily routines to help him do his best. Consider the routines below to make your child feel more…

Relaxed. Music can help your child avoid the morning rush. Play a soothing tape and ask him to be dressed and ready by the time it’s over. Tip: On Sundays, have him put each day’s outfit for the coming week on hangers labeled Monday through Friday.

Energized. A good breakfast increases concentration. Offer your youngster healthy choices. Examples: a whole-wheat bagel with peanut butter; orange juice blended with fruit and yogurt; instant oatmeal.

Connected. Talking about the school day lets your child know you care. Ask him to share two good things that happened during the day. Prompt him with specific questions, such as “Which multiplication tables did you practice?”

Prepared. Studying a little every day is the best way to learn new material. Help your youngster choose a time for homework when he is most alert—and try not to change it.

Rested. A set bedtime helps kids fall asleep more quickly. Suggest that your child get in bed 15 minutes early to read, make up stories, or talk quietly with you. e&

Bruce and John are close friends with similar abilities. Bruce does well in school, but John struggles. He often seems tired and misses assignments.

We would like to mention a reminder concerning the dropping off of children in the morning. Children should not be dropped off prior to 8:50 a.m. Your cooperation is appreciated. If you wish to drop your children off, please do so at the lower parking lot where our staff members are there to assist you with a safe drop off for your child. Please drive slowly. We thank you for your cooperation in following their directions.

Please remember, it is unlawful to pass school buses when they have their red lights flashing, even when on school property.

If your child has a medical or dental appointment and it is necessary for you to pick your child up from school, during the school day or at dismissal time, please send a note on the day you will be picking up your child. Please include in the note the name of the person who will pick up – even if it’s the mother or father – we absolutely need to know the name of the person who will pick up.

If you are picking up during the school day, please come to the main office. If you are picking up at dismissal, please come to the lower level entrance near the lower playground. Doors open at 3:25 p.m. when parents/guardians will sign their children out on our lower level.

Please do not call the office to arrange pick-up. This manner of notifying the office and teacher can be confusing not only for your child, but for the teacher (who may be in the middle of a test or teaching a lesson). Sometimes it’s difficult to track down teachers and students especially at the end of the day. . What it comes down to is a matter of safety. In order to avoid a mistake or confusion, PLEASE send a note with your child if you are picking up.

Of course we understand that emergencies occur and we will certainly accommodate those emergencies. Thank you again for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The opening and first week of school have gone very smoothly. It’s such a pleasure to see the children in the building once again. Our school is certainly humming along already as everyone gets into the swing of things.

I hope you enjoyed visiting and attending Parents As Partners Nights as much as the staff and I enjoyed seeing you. Both nights were lively and exciting. It’s so good to see everyone!!

Our first PTA meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 20 at 7:00 p.m. I encourage you to join us in the small cafeteria as we kick off the new school year. The Wappingers Central School District Board of Education meets on September 27 at 7:30 p.m. All meetings are held at the district office at 167 Myers Corners Road in the Board Room on the second floor. Gayhead’s School Leadership Team is meeting at 8:00 a.m. on September 28 in the primary library. We always encourage new members, so feel free to join us and considering becoming a member.

As we look ahead to October, which is right around the corner, children in grades kindergarten through third will learn about fire prevention in several assemblies on October 7, with our own East Fishkill fire officers. We have our Fall Book Fair on October 6, 7 and 8, from 9 a.m.-5:00 p.m. each day. In addition, the Book Fair will be open from 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Friday, October 8, when the PTA hosts one of our most popular events – Gayhead’s Ice Cream Social. There is no school on October 11 in observance of Columbus Day. The SLT meets again in October on the 19th at 8:00 a.m. and the PTA meets that evening at 7:30. The WCSD Board of Education meets again on October 25th at 7:30 p.m. School pictures are scheduled for October 28 and 29.

We have a new website this year – just go to , click on schools on the top bar, look on the left side of the page for Gayhead Elementary School and click there. When our page comes up on your computer you can choose from several different links to find information. On the left side about mid-way down you’ll find a link to our calendar to learn about events here at school. You’ll also find a link to our newsletter which we hope you will check out each month.

If you wish to be notified in the event of an unexpected emergency early dismissal, please send a note to my office with your child’s name, classroom, the name of the person who should be notified and telephone number where that person can be reached.

If you have any questions concerning your child’s progress, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher. Please do not wait until the November/December conferences if there are concerns about your child.

Have a terrific fall season!

Sincerely,

José J. Olavarría
