Everything You Need to Know About Kindergarten:

Parent Information Guide



Attendance:  You need to contact the school office at 791-0030 if your child is unable to attend school or arriving late.  If we do not hear from you, it is the school policy to contact the parents to determine the reason for the absence. 

 

 

Transportation:  I will put your child on the assigned bus each day at dismissal time unless I receive a note from you with other directions.  If you realize during the day that you have forgotten to send a note you must call the school office.  A note is necessary if there is any change in your child's transportation plans.

Parent Delivery: Transporting your child at the normal start of the day, should occur through the north entrance.
Parent Pick Up: Kindergartners will wait inside the classroom for after school pick up.  Please come to our classroom and make contact with me so I know you have your child in hand. 
Delivery or Pick Up
between 9:00 - 3:00

Please use the main entrance by the flag pole and check in at the office when your child arrives or departs.  The north doors are locked  during the school day from 9:00 - 3:00.

We ask that you make every attempt possible to schedule  appointments for your child on non-school days or toward the end of the school day, after 2:30 would be best.

 

 

Belongings:  Please label all coats, backpacks, lunch boxes with your child's name.

We have asked for certain brands due to the quality of these particular products.

If at all possible, we would like you to bring your child’s supplies with you to our Kindergarten Open House.

 

 

Money:  If sending money to school with your child, always put it in a sealed envelope or zip-lock bag, label it with your child's name and what the money is for.

 

 

Birthdays:  You are welcome to bring commercially prepackaged treats  with ingredients attached for your child's birthday on or near their special day.  We celebrate summer birthdays on each child's half birthday.  Contact me to let me know a few days in advance if you plan to send something in.   See our classroom birthday list by clicking here.

 

 

Medication:  If your child ever needs to take medicine, you are required to bring the medicine in it's original container with the child's name, the prescribed dosage and the method of administration clearly indicated to school and give it to the school nurse.

 

 

Lunch:   You will be notified about food costs at the beginning of the school year.   We utilize a computerized lunch account program where you can put money into your family lunch account periodically.  You are encouraged to put money into this account during Open House. If your child brings a lunch from home, please be sure they are able to open all containers by themselves. No pop is allowed in a bottle, can or thermos.

 

 

Snack: In addition to lunch, the children have milk and a snack every afternoon.  Our school cafeteria provides the snack.  The parents need to pay 1/2 of the snack fee for the first semester and the remainder of the snack fee for the second semester.

 

 

Show-and-Tell:  Sharing is an opportunity for your child to bring items we are learning about in school.  Items “discovered” in nature or other "themed" items are encouraged to provide an opportunity for public speaking and learning. Look for my "newsletter" each week for ideas of sharing opportunities.  The sharing of toys is not encouraged.  Please click here to view the class schedule for the day that your child is scheduled.

 

 

Super Kid:  Each and every one of your children are
S-U-P-E-R!  To foster an opportunity to let your child shine, each week a new student will be invited to be our "Super Kid of the Week."  During your child’s week a special backpack, letter, and journal will travel home with him or her. Please refer to the weekly newsletter as to the date your child will be recognized.
