September Kindergarten News
A Great Start!
Welcome to our very first
newsletter of the year! We
will use these newsletters to
let you know about important
things we are doing at school.
If you have not already
sent in a change of clothes
for your child (in a labeled
plastic bag), please do so as
soon as possible.
We enjoyed seeing you at
Sneak Peek. It was a good
opportunity to check out the
classroom and meet your
child’s teacher. Please don’t
hesitate to contact us if you
have any questions.
There are several ways
you can contact us if you have
questions about anything at
school. Please send notes in
your child’s green folder or
an early morning e-mail
(before 8:30 am). We may
not get a late e-mail or call
until after dismissal, so emergencies or time sensitive issues should be called in to
the office. Thank you for
your cooperation in this matter. We look forward to seeing you at Back-to-School
Night on September 9th.
