We're Going to Kindergarten
I'm glad you're here!
The following are some important reminders:
Please put first and last names in all articles of clothing that might be left at school, such as coats, sweaters, lunchboxes and backpacks.
Parents are an essential part of our kindergarten program. We have a dire need for parent volunteers this year. I have a schedule for those who are able to volunteer on a regular basis. Every extra body means more individual attention for the students, so I encourage all to sign up if your schedule permits.

- Emphasize to your child that toys should stay at home, unless it is part of a sharing presentation. (Watch for more information about "Show and Tell.")
- Children should bring a daily snack (even if they have ordered hot lunch). It should be small, light and nutritious. It is helpful to place the snack in a special pocket of your child’s backpack, so it will be separate from his/her lunch.
- Milk can be purchased from the school by the semester or by the year; lunches can be purchased by the week.
- Please call the attendance hotline, 522-3030, each time your child is absent. Include the dates of the absence and reason for it.
- We also require notes for changes in the pick-up routine (leaving early, going home with a friend, etc.)
- Most children have handwriting experiences by the time they come to school. Parents and preschool teachers have taught their child how to write his/her name and each child brings that unique way with him/her. In kindergarten, we teach the first letter of the name is uppercase and the remainder, lowercase. I will send home an example on the first day of school.
