First Week

Welcome KA families!

Here are a few reminders for the first week of kindergarten:

·       Thurs. Sept. 1: Kindergarten students with last names A-L attend all day, 8:20-2:45.

o   Make sure to send a healthy snack, water bottle, and a filling lunch!

·       Friday, Sept. 2: Kindergarten students with last names M-Z attend 8:20-2:45

o   Make sure to send a healthy snack, water bottle, and a filling lunch!

·       Monday, Sept. 5: Labor Day, no school

·       Tuesday, Sept. 6: All Kindergarten students attend 8:20-2:45

o   Make sure to send a healthy snack, water bottle, and a filling lunch!

*IMPORTANT:  Due to severe allergies, our classroom is completely NUT-FREE!  Please respect this policy for the health and safety of all students, and do not send any peanut or tree nut products in lunches or snacks!  This includes granola bars, cookies, etc! Sunflower seed butter (Sunbutter) or soynut butter (Wow butter) are good alternatives if needed for sandwiches.

Drop off and Pick Up:

·       Morning procedure- Students line up in parish hall in location marked for KA (the parish hall “opens” at 8:00 with supervision).  The teacher or aide will come and get the class when the bell rings.  After the first week, we will wave goodbye to parents when the bell rings!

·       Afternoon pick-up- Students will be signed out at the back classroom door (by little toy).  Only adults on the emergency list or siblings in 3rd grade or older are allowed to sign students out.

o   *If your child will attend afternoon extension, please let me know which days!

We are going to have a great year in KA!

Best,

Mrs. Katie White
