School and Money

Picture this: A Kindergartner comes into the classroom, ands you a wad of change, says, "Here," and sits down at their desk as if nothing happened.

Can you imagine the headache this might cause? When this happens, we are unsure of the purpose of the money. To avoid this misunderstanding or a call to your work or home, ALWAYS send money in a labeled envelope. It doesn't even have to be a "real" envelope! Fold a paper and staple it into a pouch. I also accept sandwich baggies with a note. No matter how money gets to the classroom please be sure to include the following:

Your Child's name
Teacher's name
Amount
Purpose of money

This will save lots of time and confusion. Any time that is saved with these housekeeping items will be well spent and invested into your child!

If you are sending money for your child's lunch account, you can also do this online. Visit MealpayPlus to deposit money and monitor the balance! So easy!
