Kindergarten Introduction
Dear Parents:
Welcome to Consolidated School and our all day kindergarten. This is going to be an exciting learning year for children and families. We are looking forward to meeting each and every one of you. Here are some important dates to remember for the start of our year.
Sneak-a Peek August 30th from 3:15 to 4:15
Screening September 4 or 5 appointments all day
Parent Orientation September 10th at 7:00PM in the classroom
Each morning we will have a short snack (healthy, please) and a morning recess. Milk (white or chocolate) and orange juice may be purchased for $.50 a carton. The first couple of weeks, the children will have a bag lunch as they learn the rules of the lunch room. After this learning time, they will have two main entree choices for lunch and two optional sandwiches each day. Hot lunch is $2.00 per day. Milk is included in the hot lunch. Milk may also be purchased at lunch time for those bringing a lunch from home. We have a computerized lunch program where each child has an account. You may pay for lunches a week, a month or for even the school year. When your account runs low, the kitchen will send home a notice that your funds are low. Children do not need to have hot lunch every day. Lunch for kindergarten will be at 11:15. It would be helpful to have parent help for the lunch times for the first couple of weeks as it is new to the children. We will have a story and a short rest time after our lunch recess most days. We are asking that each child bring a beach towel to keep at school for rest time. We will send them home periodically for a wash and ask that you return them the next Monday. It is also helpful for children to have a change of clothes here. Please label all items and put in a zip lock bag.
We share bus duty at the end of the day. We will need a note from home should your child have a change in their normal afternoon routine. This prevents tears and anxious moments for your child and for us!
There is so much more and we will cover those items at parent orientation. Bring your questions and concerns. Enclosed is a list of some items that would be helpful for us to have in the classroom. We are grateful for any help you can provide. We are so looking forward to meeting each of you and forming a partnership that will ensure that we all have the best kindergarten year!
