Welcome Letter

Hello Kindergarten Families,

 

I hope you are doing well and having a wonderful summer! I am looking forward to meeting my class soon! 

 

Below I have included some important dates and times coming up. I have included if the date is for all grades or kindergarten specific. I know many families have multiple students at the school. 

 

Drop Off/Pick Up on 8th or 9th:

Drop Off - Please walk your child to the front doors/flagpole on the 8th or 9th. We will meet you outside at your starting time (9:00 or 12:30).

Pick Up - We will walk the students out the front door/flagpole on the 8th and 9th. (11:30 or 3:00).

 

Balanced Beginnings Days:

Please pack your child a water bottle and a snack in their backpack (no lunch needed). If you have any supplies, please bring them on these days.

 

First Day for Kindergarten:

Our first day of full day school will be on the 11th. You can walk your child in and stay for a short story. After the story, you will get to say "see you later" and I will begin the day with my whole class. Please pack a water bottle, 2 snacks, a lunch from home, and a small stuffed animal (must fit in their backpack).

 

 

 

 

Upcoming Dates:

  • August 1st: Grades 1-5 will find out who their teacher is for the upcoming year.

Meet and Greet:

Meet and Greet is a time to come to the school and find your classrooms, meet the teachers, tour the school, and drop off school supplies. Students and parents are invited.

 

Back to School:

Back to school is for parents only. This is a time where you will get to learn about what your child will be doing in their specific grade from their teacher. *Kindergarten has a different day than the rest of the school.

 

I look forward to seeing everyone soon! I am excited to meet all my wonderful kindies!!!

 

Love,
