ABCs of Kindergarten!
Attendance
is very important! If your child misses school, please remember to write a
note or call the office telling why your child was absent.
Always check your child's
Bookbag
every day! Every child's
Birthday
is important. Please contact us if you'd like to send in a special
snack. We will recognize summer birthdays at the end of the school year or
on their 1/2 birthday. You may choose your own date!
You will receive a school
Calendar
every month to let you know what's happening. Please post it somewhere for
easy reference. Communication
is important. Feel free to contact us whenever you have a question or
concern. Please keep the attached communication card in a convenient place
for future reference!
Our system for
Discipline
is simple. We work hard to make the classroom a positive and safe place
for all. Rules are agreed upon during the first week of school and read
and discussed daily. Problems are looked upon as just that--problems to be
solved.
Please help your child learn to
Enter
and Exit
the building safely. They should always be escorted
by a grown-up when crossing the parking lot.
We will be going on Field
trips. We always like for parents to go with us, but younger siblings
cannot go along.
G
is for the good times we will have learning all year!
Students will have
Homework
almost every week.
The
Homework
assignments will vary and will be sent home in your child's homework
folder every Monday. Please return the homework in the homework
folder on Friday. The children will earn stickers on their folder for all
homework completed and returned on time.
It is Important
to keep all records current. If you move, get a new phone number, or
change babysitters, please be sure to inform the school. Also, don't
forget to send the Important
Paper envelope back each day of school!
Don't forget to Join
the Village View PTA! Parent participation is important and valued.
The Keys
to a successful school year include good communication between home and
school, a positive attitude, homework turned in on time and good
attendance.
We
will be checking out Library
books each week. The books will stay at school for us to share with each
other and our reading buddies.
Money
is difficult for a child to keep track of. Please send in any money in a
sealed, labeled envelope.
Our school Nurse
is on staff to take care of any emergencies and needed medications.
If your child has a fever or has been sick the night before, please do not
send him/her to school.
Always sign your child in and out of the
Office when picking him/her up or
dropping off. Please be prompt when picking your child up.
Parent/teacher
conferences will be held during October. We will look forward
to meeting each parent individually! Please make sure that we
have your current Phone
number at home and at work. We also need a number of a trusted friend or
family member to call if we can not reach you. It's important
that we be able to reach you in case of an emergency.
Always let us know if you have any
Questions
or concerns. We'll gladlyaddress them! Please review our
school Rules
with your child. It's important that your child understands and follows
our classroom rules.
Reading
is very important. Please read to your child as often as possible.
Don't forget to turn in your child's
RAH
(Reading at Home) reading log each week.
We will do Show
and Tell at school. You will know when it is your child's turn when he/she
brings home the "Super
Sack!"
Please return the sack the following day for the next person to have their
turn.

Please help your child learn to
Tie
his/her shoes. We hope that everyone knows how by December!
Your child is important to us! We will always treat your child with lots
of love, respect, and
Understanding!!
We love parent Volunteers.
If you have some time to offer--either in the classroom or at home, please
fill out and return the parent volunteer form. Help is always
needed and appreciated. If you aren't able to come for any reason,
please give as much notice as possible. We count and plan on you!!
You must always sign in at the office and get a
Visitor's
pass. Strangers on campus cause concern and will be asked to report
to the office. Remember, --not everyone knows you.
Have your child Wear
practical clothes to school. We will make every effort to protect
your child's clothes. Also, please label all jackets, sweaters, backpacks,
and lunch pails with permanent ink.
We have extra
clothes in the nurse's office if your child has an accident, or gets wet,
etc. If your child needs a change, the school nurse has some
articles of clothing that she will lend. The supply is very limited! These
clothes need to be washed and returned as soon as possible. NOTE: If you
have any old clothes to donate to the school, it would be greatly
appreciated.
Please remember that you
are your child's first and most important teacher. No one can influence
your child's life in the way that you can!
Z
is for zoom! Sit back and watch your child's skills take off! You will be
amazed and surprised at the changes this year.
