Welcome to Kindergarten!

I am excited to have the opportunity to get to know so many great families over the 2010-2011 school year. Kindergarten is the foundation to your child's educational future and it is essential that he/she has a great experience to get him/her started out on the right foot. Blogging is a new experience for me, but I think I am really going to enjoy it. My goal is to update my blog once a week as it is one of many ways I strive to keep you informed of classroom happenings. Enjoy!

Kindergarten Conferences

I was very excited to have 100 percent turnout for our conferences today. It was great to know that I have so many dedicated families that want to be an active part in their child's educational success.

I wanted to make sure I followed up with a few reminders:
  • I will send out my classroom volunteer application form next Friday, September 11th. If you or any member of your family would like to volunteer, please fill it out so I know where your interests lie. Volunteering in the classroom will begin in October. I will notify those who would like to volunteer of their assigned dates/times later this month.
  • If you plan on volunteering in the classroom or on field trips, please complete the blue distict volunteer application form. A copy of your driver's license is also required.
  • Any money for book orders, lunch/milk, tuition, etc. can be sent with your child's homework folder on Thursday's or can be pinned to your child, inside of an envelope, with the purpose of the money written on the check or envelope.
  • Please call the office or send a note to notify us of any bus or pick-up changes.

I had several questions regarding almond butter and whether that could be substituted in sandwiches for peanut butter. The child with the peanut allergy also has reactions to almond butter, but sunflower butter (available at Safeway) is a safe substitution. Thank you for helping us out.

If you had the opportunity to go over the packet from our meeting today and have any more questions, please feel free to call me or email me. Thanks.
