News and Other Reminders: 

Friday folders went home for the first time. These folders will go home every week and will be filled with news from the school, our classroom, and work from the week. Please make sure to go through this folder every Friday and send it back to school on Monday. Thanks!

*Thank you to all of the families who have turned in their party money! If you have not done so yet, please bring $10 in as soon as possible. This money pays for all of our class celebrations during the year.

*Please remember to send a reusable water bottle to school each day with your Kinder. Make sure his or her name is clearly labeled so these can be returned each day.

*We have gym and music on Days 2 and 4. Please be sure to send gym shoes to school on those days. You may choose to leave a pair of shoes at school, just let us know. Thanks!

We had an amazing first week and are so excited for a year of learning with your child! Have a fantastic rest of your weekend!
