Dear Families,
This letter is to inform you of the ins-and-outs of Kindergarten.
Communication: I send home a weekly newsletter letting you know what we are working on in class, events and upcoming events. Please look for this letter every Monday, or the first work day of the week. You can contact me by either email southard@nclack.k12.or.us or (503)353-5640 ext. 23607.
View Acres' Expectations: Be Safe Be Responsible Be Respectful
Snack: I will continue to provide snack until I get the president list going in two weeks. We have limited time for snacks and it takes too long for kids to get their snacks out of their backpacks. If you child has special dietary needs or you want your child to have a healthier snack, it is okay to send it in their backpack. They need to be able to open it themselves and you will need to provide a spoon, if their snack needs that. Water bottles are okay, try to get a water bottle that does not screw off and on, please label.
Sharing and Homework; Will start in October.
Labels: Please label everything, backpacks, jackets, lunch containers.
Clothing and Shoes: Please make sure that your child wears appropriate clothing and shoes for the weather and playing. When it starts getting cold, remember layers and coats with hoods.
Changes of Destination: I need a note from you if your child is going home a different way from his/her usual arrangement. If I do not have a note from you your child will go home according to his/her regularly scheduled plans. I am very strict regarding this policy.
Meals; AM kindergartners can eat breakfast at school PM kindergartners will have LUNCH in the cafeteria before school starts. Your child may bring lunch from home or purchase a lunch from school.
