Welcome to Kindergarten!!!
We are so excited to be working with your student this year in Kindergarten!

During this first full week together we will be learning classroom and school procedures as well as creating some classroom rules. These rules will help keep our classroom safe and orderly, allowing an environment for every student to learn.

This week we will be visiting some of our specialist. Please check the specials schedule and dress your child accordingly. If you have not sent an art shirt to keep at school please do, or dress your child in clothing that you do not mind getting messy on Art class days.

If you have not had a chance to look over the Kindergarten Packet please take some time to read over it and email me or write a note with any questions you may have a concern about.

Remember to check the Daily Kid Connection Folder and return to school daily. If your student is a bus rider please return the bus tag to school daily. Students in kindergarten and 1st grade wear the bus tags for the first 20 days of school.

Jump Rope for Heart!
Our Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser is underway! Each year, our school raises money for the American Heart Association to help those with "sick hearts". All the money that we collect is sent into the American Heart Association where they distribute it to Doctors, Patients, etc. This fundraiser is optional. Students do not have to collect donations if they do not want to. In celebration of this fundraiser, we also hold a Jump Rope for Heart day. This is a day where Students will Jump Rope to make their hearts healthier. On this day, music is playing, and students are engaged in stations that include jump ropes, hula-hoops, dancing, limbo. All Students participate on this day regardless if they collect money or not. Feel free to come on out and watch your child participate on his/her Jump Rope for Heart day.

Jump rope for heart dates are (the times are TBA):
March 2 for Tracks 1 & 3
March 9 for Tracks 2 & 4

Collection envelopes are due:
March 2 for Track 1
March 9 for Tracks 2,3,4
