Kindergarten Bridging Ceremony

On Tuesday, June 2nd, at 11:00 we invite you to attend Redwood’s Kindergarten Bridging. This event will recognize all four sections of Redwood’s Kindergarten classes for their completion of the kindergarten school year. This event will be held outdoors and parents are encouraged to bring their own lawn/ camp chair for the event. Attendees should arrive prior to the 11:00 start time, park in designated parking areas, and find a spot to sit in the green lawn in the front of the building. The ceremony will take place directly in front of the school entrance.

Prior to the start of the event we will block off the driveway in front of the school for the safety of students and visitors.

Directly following the event all students will be dismissed home for the day. Parents should have someone present to sign out the students, there will not be bussing for the students at this time.

• Students do not need to bring anything with them to school on June 2nd

• Students are encouraged to dress up for this event.

• Students' last regular day of school is Wednesday June 3rd.

In the case of rain, the event will be moved inside the gym. If it is necessary to move the event indoors we will only be able to accommodate 2 guests per student due to the size of the gym.

From daily medications and scraped knees to tummy aches and lots of encouragement, thank you for trusting us with your child’s daily care and needs. As we wrap up the school year, please remember to:

• Pick up any remaining student medications from the clinic before the last day of school. Medications not picked up with be disposed of after the last day of school per district policy.
• Update physicals, immunizations, or health forms over the summer if needed for next year.
• Nursing will return to school in August to prep for the beginning of the school year. Please email me over the summer (Kimberly.Rose@alcsoh.org) if needed and I will get back to you when I come back in August.

Thank you for your cooperation throughout the year. Have a safe and healthy summer!

Over the summer months, you will receive an email prompting you to complete your student’s back‑to‑school forms in FinalForms. Since this is a new platform for us, the email will include instructions on how to access and complete the required forms. FinalForms serves as a one‑stop location for reviewing and updating your child’s emergency and medical information, as well as signing the annual permission forms for district policies.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Theresa Martin at 440-933-0984 or Kristen Perrier at 440-930-8324.

As more students bring cell phones and watches with wi-fi and data capabilities, it is

important to remember and inform your children about the policy of using them while at

school. During school hours, students must keep the phone in the locker/cubby or

backpack and have it turned off. If a parent needs to contact their child or a child needs

to contact a parent, that communication must go through the school and in most cases

the main office. Watches are another area where communication may occur if wi-fi or

data are enabled. Students may wear watches and use the watches for time telling

purposes or tracking their steps and other non-communication purposes. However, if

students and parents are using the watch to call and text each other, those devices will

be viewed more for communication and will be asked to be put away each day like a cell

phone. Thank you for your attention to this matter and following these rules.

Calling all recyclers! The Redwood art room is always in need of the following: plastic grocery bags, newspaper, and egg cartons (plastic or styrofoam only). If you have any of these items, please drop them off in the art room. Thank you!
