  17. Friendly Reminders Water bottles with a sports lid are allowed in second grade. (Water only!) Healthy, non-messy snacks are allowed. No spoons please. When your child’s method of transportation changes please send a written note to school. If you child is going to be a car rider at any time this year you will need to have a car rider number and tag. (available in the front office) Toys stay at home. Cupcakes may be passed out during recess in honor of birthdays (2:10-2:30). Please read KISD policies concerning student dress code.

  18. Friendly Reminders continued… If your child requires medicine to be taken at school, it must be taken to the nurse in its original container.  She will give you the necessary paperwork to complete.  No medicine will be given to your child without signed permission. Our school nurse this year is a LVN who will be supervised by a RN.
