Snack: Please include a healthy nut-free snack or two and a drink each day in a lunch box or disposable bag that your child can open independently.

*SNACKS MUST BE NUT-FREE*

Breakfast & Lunch: Students have the option to eat breakfast at school and the option of bringing their lunch to school or ordering lunch daily. This year, student breakfast is $1.90 and student lunch is $3.45. Funds must be loaded onto your child’s account for them to purchase and receive breakfast/lunch. There are 2 ways to add money to your child’s account:

1. Cash- Place cash payment in a sealed envelope or baggie labeled with your child’s name. This money will be sent to the Main Office and added to your account. There is no exchange of cash in our cafeteria.

2. Parent Portal or Personal Check- You can add funds electronically to your account via the Parent Portal. You can also add funds to your lunch account by sending a check payable to the Hazlet Township Board of Education to school. The dollar amount is up to you.

Lunch: Lunch will be at 12:14pm every day. For the 2023-2024 school year, lunch will cost $3.45 per entree. There are blank Lunch Forms that are to be kept in your child’s folder. If your child is ordering lunch on a given day, please fill out the Lunch Form for that day with the lunch selection. That will let me know that I should order a lunch for your child. Lunch orders are placed first thing in the morning. There are several options for them to choose from each day, so it is very helpful for me to have your child’s lunch selection in writing. *Please clearly note each day what your child will be ordering for lunch. Each student will be given an order form that will be replaced as needed. Thank you, in advance, for your help!*

The lunch menu will be sent home monthly or can be found through this link. If the link does not work, the menu can be found by going to hazlet.org. Select schools at the top, and click on Sycamore Drive Early Childhood Learning Center. Click "Lunch Menus" and then "Sycamore Drive ECLC".

Homework: Homework packets will be sent home on Monday and are due back on Friday. Homework packets are a reflection of what we are working on in school each week. Please complete 1-2 pages per night in pencil, unless directed to color. In addition to weekly homework packets, please practice all sight words daily!

Absences: Parents/Guardians are responsible for notifying the school on or before the first day of a student's absence. Sycamore Drive ECLC has a voicemail system on which you may leave a message between the hours of 4:00p.m. and 8:50 a.m. regarding student absences and tardies. To report an absence call 732- 264-2180, listen to the menu and press 1 for the “Attendance Line and Nurse”. When leaving a message, please state your child’s name, teacher, reason for absence and the possible number of days your child will be absent. For tardy students, tell us the time the child will arrive to school. If a child is absent and we have not received a call, school personnel will attempt to call the parent/ guardian. If the parent/guardian cannot be reached, an attempt will be made to confirm the child’s absence by contacting the emergency numbers you have provided. Please keep phone numbers updated. This procedure is to ensure each child’s safety.

Birthdays: Non-edible items can be distributed to classmates to celebrate birthday in school!! Examples include but are not limited to: Stickers, play-doh, bubbles, silly straws, pencils.

Dismissal: Students are dismissed as either: a bus student, a walker, Flex Time attendee, or an after-care attendee. Please send me an email or put a note in your child's folder if your child will not be taking the bus home, if someone else will be picking up your child, or if your child will be leaving school early. You must qualify and register for Flex Time. You must register with Right At School for after-care.

Extra Clothing: If possible, please send in an extra set of clothing in a Ziploc bag, labeled with your child's name, to be kept at school in the event of a spill or accident.

Thank you so much!
