Dear Kindergarten families,

Please take a moment to read the information below. Some of the information may be repetitive. However, I hope it is delivered promptly and consistently to all Kindergarten Park Street families. 😊

Kindergarten families can send stuffing mix boxes to cooperate with the Family Resources Thanksgiving Drive!

The Scholastic fall book fair is coming! Students may shop the fair during conference week from 8am-1:15pm. Parents may shop before or after conferences and the fair should remain open most days until 4:30pm.

It's crucial that ALL students have their student ID cards to ride the school bus. This is a new requirement that we believe will enhance the safety and security of our transportation system.

Thank you in advance for your support, implementation, and dedication to ensuring all students are ready. Transportation will be on the ground at your schools to assist with scanning.

*Please encourage parents to download the My Ride K-12 app. The app provides real-time transportation information.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson.

Attendance is a critical component to the success of an elementary student. If an unavoidable

situation necessitates an absence, the parent must notify the school office in writing within 2 school days of the student’s return.

An excused absence means that your child is absent for a legitimate reason, for example, personal illness, illness or death in the family, religious holiday, court appointment, quarantine, or conditions rendering school attendance hazardous to health and safety. All other absences will be

considered unexcused. Georgia Law requires school action after five unexcused absences or ten tardies. The process begins with parent notification.

Students are tardy after 8:30 a.m. A parent must sign the student in at the office if arriving after

8:30 a.m. A student is counted present for the day if he/she arrives at or before 8:30 a.m. and stays until at least 11:55 a.m. or arrives before 11:55 a.m. and stays until 3:15 p.m. Partial attendance of a day is considered a tardy. Good attendance is vital to the academic success of students.

● After three parental excuse notes in a semester, parents must submit documentation

from a physician explaining the student's absence.

● If documentation from a doctor is not provided after three parental excuse notes in a semester,

subsequent absences will be marked as unexcused.

● Excessive absences can result in the intervention of the school social worker.

As an extension from what the students are learning in Spanish Math class, your child will be doing the homework from the Math books volume 1 and 2 that you received at the Sneak-A-Peek meeting.
