Dear Parents,
I am honored to have your child in my class this year.
At the bottom of this page is a link that will open a word document of the kindergarten handbook. It over views such things as assignments, grading, attendance, and daily schedules.
Please, refer to it in order to familiarize yourself with the curriculum, routines, and expectations in kindergarten this year.
Read the information carefully.
I will be happy to talk with you or answer any questions.

Please keep a change of clothes in your child’s back pack in case of an accident.
If sending a child with money for a snack at lunch, only send at most $1. If they bring more, they are likely to give it to a friend.
Please be sure your child goes directly to the gym when they arrive in the morning.
Please remember to fill out and return all required forms from the first day package that you received.
Don’t forget to check your child’s blue folder (communication folder) daily and go over their work and expectation chart.
Please place any important notes or papers in your child’s communication folder. Your child’s teacher will open their folder daily but will not be able to check in backpacks for notes or papers.
Please help us to ensure your child’s success by attending school daily and by being on time!
