Scholastic Book Orders
We are excited to utilize the Scholastic Reading Club program in our classroom this year. Ordering books for your children through this program gives our class points towards free books that your child will utilize in the classroom throughout the year.
Our first book order will be due September 30th. The Scholastic Book order link is located on the sidebar of our class blog (look for the red box) or simply click here: Scholastic Reading Club. Ordering online is fast and easy, our class activation code is: N7NLJ. Online ordering allows you to shop all the books, not just the select books in the current flyer.
Picking up after school
To help improve student pick up for our kindergarteners in front of the school, we are going to make a few slight adjustments.
In addition to the gate we have been using, we will begin opening the gate east of the portable. We will then have all the kindergarten students stand in front of the portable in a “Kindergarten Zone” marked with cones. We ask that parents stand outside of the area to allow room for the students and teachers. Once you have seen your child’s class exit the gate and enter the Kindergarten Zone, you are invited to approach the area and pick up your child.
EXCEPTION: On your child’s library day, their class will be exiting the school from the main front doors.
Carpool students will continue to meet in the back and load from the left side of the vehicle.
Thank you for your support and patience
The Kindergarten Team

First Day of Kindergarten :)
We are excited for our FIRST DAY of school on Wednesday.
What to bring: Please send your child with headphones and a water bottle. We encourage you to label these items.
Drop-off: Students are invited to play outside until the 8:22 whistle. They will then line up outside the portable. (Breakfast is available everyday, prior to the start of class in the lunchroom).
Pick-up: If you are participating in the carpool parking or daycare van pickup, we will bring your child to the pick up area in the back of the school. All other students will be brought to the gate between Q1 and Q2. You are welcome to park, use the crosswalk and come get your kindergartener. You are also welcome to have another designated student (ie siblings) come get your child and take them to a pickup spot of your choosing. Students will remain with us until they have been successful transferred to the care of a parent, caretaker, sibling, or other designated person.
