Friendly Reminders for this Week:
- September Items- Thank you for sending in the “Items needed for September”. A checklist outlining any items your child still needs to bring has been sent home today. If you are still missing items, please bring them in on Monday. If you brought in an item but it was checked off on your list, let us know, as we have some items that were not labelled in the classroom!
- Pick Up and Drop Off– When full day Kindergarten begins, Kindergarten students must still be picked up and dropped off at our classroom door. However, you will now be able to park in the front or back lot for arrival and dismissal. When the students are being dismissed from the Kindergarten classroom, we ask that you step forward when you see your child so that they can find you more easily!
- Flashcards– Our fall DIBELS assessment will begin soon. Please send your child’s alphabet and number cards back to school by Wednesday, September 29th. Thank you to those who have already returned your package!
- Birthday Celebration– If you wish to have your child share a special treat with the whole class on his/her birthday, please ensure that the item is individually wrapped and nut-free. All treats will be sent home at the end of the day.
- Walkathon- Please continue to get pledges for the upcoming Walk-a-thon, on October 1st. Pledges and donations are due by October 13th.
Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
With love,
Miss Wu & Miss Guevara
