| What time does school start and end? The school day begins at 9:00 in the morning and ends at 3:15 in the afternoon. When do we line up at school? How do I behave in line? You get in line whenever the class leaves to go to another place in the building. You line up to go to recess, the cafeteria, and special classes like art, music, and gym. You have to go in line when the teacher tells you. You have to be quiet in line and listen to directions. |

What are voice levels? When do I use them? The voice level is how loud or quiet your voice is. You use them at different places in school. The voice levels are: 0 = no talking
1 = whisper 2 = loud enough for two people to hear 3 = medium 4 = talking out loud 5 = yelling |
| Where can I put my supplies during the day? Everybody has a desk, and that’s where you put your supplies. If the teachers tell you to get something out, you get it out, and you put it away in the desk when the teachers say. What kinds of supplies do I need? Where should I get them? The school makes a list of supplies you need to buy, like pencils and paper. You can read the supply list here (click on “Supply List” and look for your grade level). You can buy the supplies at stores like Target, Kmart and Wal-Mart. |

What do I do if I get hurt at school?? You go to the school nurse, who is in the office at the front of the school. If you are hurt on the playground or any other place, ask permission from the teacher or an adult, and they will send you to the nurse to get better. And the nurse is really nice! |
| How do students get to school? Some students walk to school or come in their family's car, but most kids ride the bus. What is it like to ride on the school bus? Riding on the school bus is fun, especially when your friends are on the bus. If you have friends on the bus, you can talk to them. If your friend doesn’t ride the bus, try to make new friends on the bus. How do I know which bus is mine? Each bus has its own number. You will know the bus you ride because the school will send your parents a letter about what number bus you ride. The bus picks you up at a stop near your house in the morning. At the end of the day the principal will call bus numbers over the P.A. system, and then you go out to your bus. |
