August 23

It was great to see all the kindergartners and families today!  I know I put you to work and gave you a lot of information (and probably forgot to mention some things) so I thought I'd post some of the biggies.

TRANSPORTATION
Please make sure your child gets on the correct bus at the correct stop.  I know many areas have multiple buses and it can get confusing.  Your child will be escorted to our room in the morning and to the gym in the afternoon.

Daycare will also be escorted to their spots.

Walkers and riders will enter Door 11.  The doors will open at 8:50 and the last bell is at 9:05.  They will exit the same door at 3:35.

SNACK AND LUNCH

We will be having snack around 11:00.  Please pack the snack in the front part of your child's backpack or separately from his/her lunch.  We have several students with a variety of food allergies.  Please refer to the green sheet that has snack suggestions.  Please strike out the cheese option as dairy allergies are in our class. No dairy snacks please.  Please try to bring a lunch for the first week or so.  Have it clearly labelled.  We eat at 1:05.

SPECIALS
If you look to your left on the blog you will find KP's specials schedule. 

On the days your child has gym, he/she should wear gym schools to school.  If your child brought shoes to keep at school, that is okay but wearing them on the gym days is my preferred method as it can be difficult for the children to change their shoes by themselves and leaving the shoes on the floor creates a little extra clutter.  Whatever works best for you.

When your child begins bringing books home from the library, they will need to return them by the next check out day.  They are free to return them early but we will only check out on Thursdays.

Art shirts will stay in your child's backpack all year for art and in class activities.

We are signed up for computer lab on Fridays.  I welcome a parent volunteer during our time and I will let you know when we are up and running.

IMPORTANT DATES

I have a calendar on our blog.  Please refer to it so you don't miss our Ice Cream Social on Monday.

Thank you for coming today!  I'm looking forward to a great year!
