First Day of School

We are excited for our FIRST DAY of school on Tuesday. 

What to bring: Please send your child with headphones and a water bottle. We encourage you to label these items.

Drop-off: 12:10-12:15 Students will line up along the fence between Q1 and Q2 on the parking lot side. Please stay with your child everyday until we pick them up to lead them to our class. You are more than welcome to follow your child into the classroom on the first day. You can help them find their chair and take picture if you’d like.

Pick-up: We will bring the students through the gate, along the sidewalk, and gather by the east windows of Q1 by the tree and cross walk. You may park your vehicle and then pick up your child. Please use the crosswalks. Or you may remain in your vehicle and drive along the sidewalk. We will help load your child from the right side of the vehicle.

Back to School Night

Back to School Night
Monday, August 15
6:00-8:00pm

My kindergarten class’s presentation will be at 7:00 and 7:30 in our classroom. Feel free to choose either of those times to attend.

During Back to School Night you will have the opportunity to come to our classroom and learn more about our class and the upcoming school year.

In addition, there will be a free uniform giveaway in the lunchroom. They will be available 4:00-7:30pm. While in the lunchroom, meet Madeline Chestnut and her amazing lunch crew. This is a good time to talk with Madeline about any allergies your child may have.

We are looking forward to meeting with you!

Get your books!

I love that we are able to order through Scholastic! They have such a variety of books at a great price!

Feel free to order books for your child/children for the beginning of the school year! Some of my favorites are the Pigeon books by Mo Willems, The Bad Seed and other books in that series, Elephant and Piggie, and any of the Animal non-fiction books. But don’t just limit yourself to those I’ve mentioned, there are so many others to explore and love!
