Kindergarten Weekly Update

Happy NOVEMBER!

Now through the end of the year will fly by with school breaks, announcements, and lots of activities! Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you need anything at all, we know how overwhelming it can all be.

As the weather changes, be sure to label ALL outerwear! We are already seeing MANY hats, gloves, and jackets lost daily and will do our best to return them.

For attendance questions and concerns, please contact:

Reminder to ensure your kiddos are wearing dress code appropriate clothing each day for school!

You are more than welcome to come and eat lunch with your child any day (with exceptions for closed campus testing days) of your choice. If you are eating lunch at school remember:

- check in AND out with the front office

• no background check required, but the school does need to keep track of who is and is not in the building

- you may only sit with your child, their friends may not eat with you at the visitors tables

- you cannot supply food to other children that are not your own

- please encourage your children to continue to follow school rules while you are visiting

These are rules across campus to keep all children safe, and must be followed by all visitors.

Aubrey ISD does enforce a strict dress code. Please review the following links to familiarize yourself with the dos and don'ts!

Please note that outerwear, jewelry, and accessories worn to school are the responsibility of your child to keep up with. We will do our best to give reminders and monitor the location of these items as they are taken off, and we do give reminders that everything needs to be stored in backpacks if it is not on, but students should be aware of guidelines from parents as well. Any items brought to school do have the chance of being left at school, lost, or taken home by others if guidelines are not followed.

Dress Code

Dress Code Dos and Don'ts

• LABEL ALL LUNCHBOXES, WATER BOTTLES, JACKETS AND MORE. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE RETURN OF MATERIALS HOME IF YOUR STUDENT MISPLACES THEM AND THERE IS NOT A NAME LABELING IT.

• Send your kiddo to school with a LABELED, reusable water bottle daily.

• Don't forget a snack, packed SEPARATE from their lunch so they don't eat it at lunch accidentally.

• Pack an extra set of dress code approved clothes in a gallon sized bag, or other container, in case of accidents or clothing emergencies.

• Check green folders nightly, empty and return each day. Any paperwork that needs to come back to school will on the RIGHT side, and teachers will check for returned forms daily.

• Car tags are REQUIRED at dismissal in the car line, as well as Walker Pick up locations

• Email ALL transportation changes to FESTransportation@aubreyisd.net by 2pm.

• We will not go outside for recess if the temperature exceeds 100*F or is below 40*.

• Parents need to drop their kiddos off at the door - fostering independence is essential in Kindergarten! There will be teachers around to help kiddos find their way to our classrooms.
