Hello Kindergarten Families!

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit with me over the past couple of weeks!  I loved meeting your families and look forward to a great year of learning with you and your children!   As the excitement and nerves about the first day of school start to happen, we wanted to keep you in the loop with a few tidbits and reminders!

First day: New Directions staff will be wearing purple shirts on the first day of school. This may help your child find us in the morning, although we will be keeping an eye out for them as well. We will all meet at the purple NDLC awning that faces the playground.

Snack:   All students should bring a healthy SNACK FROM HOME each day.  Children can also bring a water bottle each day. It’s warm in our room so water bottles are helpful!

Rest: Students should bring a beach towel/small blanket to rest on each afternoon.  These will be kept at school in their lockers.

Breakfast:  Breakfast is available for children to eat in the classroom each morning.  The cost of breakfast is $1.45 and it will include milk.  Please let me know if you intend for your child to eat breakfast at school each day.  We want to ensure kids who need breakfast are getting it and no one takes it if/when they are not supposed to.

Folders: You will find a Take Home folder in your child’s backpack upon returning from their first day as a kindergartener. This folder should be emptied each night and returned each day.

Specials: Please remember to send gym shoes and art shirts if you have not done so yet.
We will have a six day rotation that will impact the special classes we have each day.  Please see our schedule to learn when we have our special classes.  This calendar shows which school days coordinate with the numbered days (1-6).  Library books should be returned prior to Day 6 on our schedule.

Blog: Weekly updates, pictures, and upcoming activities will be posted here each week!

Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns!  Enjoy your last few days of summer!  I can’t wait to see you soon!!!
