Kindergarten newsletter Aug. 12 - 14th

Welcome to Kindergarten!!!

We'd like to welcome all of our families to a new year!  We are so excited to meet all of you!  There are a few things that we need you to know about the first day/week...

1. For the first day, your child will attend school like a NORMAL day.  If you are AM, your day is 8:15 - 11:35 and PM is 11:35 - 2:45.  Our Wacky Wednesday schedule will not begin until Aug. 19th, when all students attend school from 8:15 - 11:35.  

2.  Please send your child to school with a small healthy snack every day, as we do not provide snack.  Water only, please no juice.

3.  Please remember to never leave your car unattended at the yellow drop off curb in front of Kindergarten.  This applies to picking up as well.

4.  You are welcome to accompany your child into the classroom for first 15- 20 minutes, helping them to find their cubbies and seats.  We will wave goodbye shortly thereafter.  At that time, please plan to make a quick exit in order to help calm any possible anxieties.  


5.  Supply bins will be outside in the kindergarten playground for any donations.  THANK YOU!

6.  Your child needs a folder, labeled with his/her name, that will be used daily.  He/she needs to place it in the Homework Bin on the bench in front of their classroom.  In order for your child to establish this daily routine, please encourage them to do this on their own every day, including the first day.  

7.  Please make sure to label all personal items for your child, such as jackets, lunch boxes and water bottles.  Donated supplies, other than folders, do not need a name. 

8.  At the end of your child's day, your teacher will be dismissing each student one by one, so that we can become familiar with each child's parent. Please be patient, as this is important and will take a few extra minutes.  Please plan to park in the lot or neighborhood, as you are never allowed to leave your car unattended at the curb, even to pick up.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with our crazy traffic!
