Dear Parents/Guardians,
I can hardly contain my excitement
as the new school year draws near. September is fast approaching and with
it comes the first day of Kindergarten.
What a
momentous day…the first in your child’s academic career and it must be
special!
I am so excited to start the school year.
Although I do not want the summer to end I cannot wait until September 3rd, our first day of school. I am looking forward to
working with and getting to know both you and your child.
The morning Kinder-Kids will meet
me at
8:45 am
by the glass doors on the left hand side of the building as
you face the school from Prospect. The afternoon Kinder-Kids will meet me
at
12:15 pm
at the same doors. The AM will be dismissed at
11:30
am
and the PM at
3:00 pm
via the front left hand side glass doors.
Listed below are a few necessary
items that your child will need during the course of the school year. It
would be very helpful if you could send these items to school with your
child during the first three days of school. Please make sure everything is
labeled with your child’s name and class, AM or PM.
The
“Kindergarten Survival Kit” contains the following:
·
A
recent photograph of your child (that can be cut).
·
A
backpack labeled with your child’s name. Please no backpacks with wheels,
they are very dangerous in the classroom and they do not fit in the
cubbies. Please make sure the bag is big enough for folders and books and
can be easily opened.
·
Four
colored pocket folders - AM students need
yellow folders and PM students need blue
folders. (labeled w/name and class)
·
A smock
for art (an old t-shirt is fine). Labeled clearly with name. No
plastic smocks please.
·
1 pump
soap
·
1
container of wet wipes
·
6 glue
sticks (additional sticks will be greatly appreciated, as we will be using
them often).
·
A daily
snack (something nutritious, please). No flip top canned items, as
they are very sharp. Boxed drinks or plastic containers only. No
thermoses, glass, sodas, or pouch drinks (for example
Capri
Sun).
Please make sure that the snack is prepared to eat as time is precious, and
we will not be able to cut or peel fruit, open, sort food,
etc.
*Please remember our classroom is peanut/nut free. We cannot allow
the children to eat anything containing peanut butter or any type of nuts in
our classroom. If a snack containing nuts is sent to school with your child,
it will be sent home. If you have any questions you may contact Ms. Rivera,
our school nurse.
