Volunteer Info• Typically, NYOS families are encouraged to collectively volunteer at least 20 hours total each school year.

• In the past, we have provided many ways for parents and guardians to volunteer:

• Chaperoning study trips• Helping out at school-wide events, like Field Day or the Book Fair• Helping out at PTA events like Jag Fest• Helping prepare classroom supplies or assisting with class events• Doing maintenance projects during school breaks, like painting or power washing

Once volunteer opportunities become available, you can complete a required background check and sign up for volunteer shifts through nyos.org after your background check is approved.

PTA offers a free uniform exchange at the beginning of the year.

Examples of Uniform Options

• Snack happens twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. • Snack should be something healthy that will give your child energy and focus

throughout the day.• Snack can be brought from home or you can donate boxes of snack to the

classroom (goldfish, pretzels, fruit bars, etc.)• Snack should be something small.

Rest Time• Students will have a quiet time in the beginning of the year for about 15

minutes. As they adjust to Kindergarten and the long day, this time will go away.

• This will be adjusted per class needs.

Lunch• Students can bring lunch from home or order school lunch

from the cafeteria. School lunch ordering happens a week ahead of time and is done online.

• You can eat with your child but you must always sign in at the office and get a visitor’s pass first.

• Please only send containers that students can open independently. This is a great skill to practice over the summer!

• Please bring a full water bottle everyday that is easy to open, refill, and ideally leakproof.

Life SkillsIt is helpful if students come in with a few life skills such as:

• Being able to share and take turns• Solve problems using their words, “I Messages” • Use the bathroom independently• Button and unbutton shorts, pants, jackets independently,

unzipping backpacks
