Hi Kindergarten Families! 

I am so excited to meet all of you and begin this VERY exciting year of fun and learning! The first day of school is on Wednesday, August 15th. A few days prior to that, you will receive a letter in the mail with information about who your child’s teacher is, the room number, and an invitation to a “Meet your Teacher” event which will occur on the morning of Monday, August 13th in our classroom (Room 17). The specific time will be given to you in the letter as well.  Besides meeting the teacher, this is a great way to familiarize your child with the classroom, set up a bus schedule/going home routine, and most importantly, comfort any nerves that may be building up for the big first day! At this orientation, we will also give you an important newsletter that will answer the many questions you may have (ie: information about our daily schedule, snack time, where to pick your child up, etc.).

If you've already started school shopping, we suggest that you buy your child a REGULAR size backpack that can hold a (provided) 9x12 homework folder, a lunch box, and a sweatshirt inside. Make sure to label all of these items with your child's name (especially clothing). And for safety reasons, please NO rolling backpacks. We've already purchased homework folders and most classroom supplies (crayons, pencils, journals, etc) for the students, however if you are able to contribute any classroom donations, it will be very much appreciated. Please check out our Classroom Donations List, located to the right of this posting, to see what is needed or on the tree in the classroom. Thank you! 

Ms. Werner
