Folders.  Each child has a folder with the right side labeled for papers to be left at home and the left side for things that need to be returned right away.  I will send the folder home each day and it should come to school with your child each day. Please put any notes or money in the folder it will be checked each morning.

Good times.  Kindergarten is not only an academic year it is also your child’s first experience with school.  It is our goal to make the year a positive one so that the children have a love for learning.

Hooks- Each child will have a hook to hang coats and backpacks on.

Independence.  Your child is learning to do more on his/her own.  Please encourage this independence especially in shoe tying, zippers, snaps and cold weather dressing.

Jobs. Classroom jobs will be done by the calendar helper each day.  The calendar helper is the child who brings in snack for the day.  Jobs included are: line leader, pass out snack, and take attendance down to the main office. Each child will get at least one chance a month to be the helper.

Questions and concerns are important to us.  If you have any questions or concerns please send a note in your child’s folder or call the school or e-mail me at [email protected].  We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Read to your child.  Reading to your child fosters a love of books and builds attention span.  We will be sending home books towards the middle of the year that your child can read with you.

Snack.  When it is your child’s snack day please send in a healthy snack for the whole class to share.  Snack time is where we work on social skills such as table manners and being considerate of others around you.

Teamwork between parents and teachers is essential.  By working together, we can give your child the best possible start in school.
