Back to School Night and After-School Meeting Tree

Tree

I had a wonderful time meeting students and parents at Back to School Night!  I am so excited to start this school year with you and make it a great year!  Remember that the first three days of school (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) will be early-release days (dismissal at 1:00).  We will have lunch time all three days, so please plan accordingly. 

I wanted to be sure to let you know that for the first two weeks, I will be walking students out the Kindergarten (East) doors after school each day.  We will walk around to the front of the school building (South side) to the tree that is right outside our classroom window.  That will be our meeting place. 

After the first two weeks, I am assigned to traffic duty on the North side of the school to assist with carpools.  I will still be walking the children outside the Kindergarten doors, but I will no longer be able to wait with them beside the tree because I will be directing traffic at the back of the building.  Other staff members will be on the South side of the building, though, and will be able to assist the children if needed.  

If you choose to have your child meet you at another location, that is completely up to you.  Please ask your child to tell me if you are having them meet you somewhere other than the tree so that I will know.  

Thank you!  I am really looking forward to working with you and your wonderful children! See you Wednesday morning!

Reading Passages Link

Below is a link to some reading passages that are very similar to the ones that your student will be encountering in the upcoming DIBELS test in January.  Please use the “Level 100” passages to help your student practice for the DIBELS test, which is a very important one-minute timed test.  Even those these are not the exact passages that will be used, exposure to similar passages such as these and a simulation of the actual timed test will prepare your child and help him/her feel more comfortable when they experience the real test.
