Parent/Teacher Conferences: Conferences are scheduled for the first and third quarters of the school year.
Supplies: It would be helpful if your child has a backpack labeled with his/her name to use to carry papers and library books home. A small blanket would also be helpful for the daily rest time. This should also be labeled with the child's name.
Snacks: We will be having snacks occasionally. If you would like to help out with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Please send items such as pretzels, cookies, cheez-its, fruit snacks, graham crackers...in an unopened package to be shared with the class. These will be kept in the classroom cabinet and used as needed.

Dismissal: Kindergarten students will be dismissed by teacher and safety patrols. Students will go to one of the following locations: teardrop drive, van/bus, or Kid's Club.
Thank you for sharing your child with me!
