Kindergarten Reminders
- Every kindergarten class goes to the library at some point on Tuesday. Please make sure you are sending your child's book back in their backpack so they can check out a new book each week. We will start by keeping books at school for the first few weeks.
- Please make sure your child has ONE DRY snack and a water bottle every day. Please try to keep your child's snack separate from their lunch. Please remember at school ONLY water is allowed in a student's water bottle.
- Every kindergarten class is allergy aware. Please do NOT send products with nuts in them for your child's snack. Thank you for your help with this!
- Please make sure your child is bringing their red take-home folder to school everyday. Also, please make sure you are emptying it each night.
- If you haven't already, please send in a pair of headphones for your child to use with their Chromebook throughout the year. They will stay at school and be returned in May.
