Welcome to School!

Mrs. Jones' Kindergarten Kids


Matching shirts for Best Friends


What an awesome first day of school! It was great to see everyone today in their new clothes and with new bookbags and lunch kits, and excited and happy to be at school! However, please remember that it is still quite warm out on the playground (and in the classroom), so it might be better to go back to summer attire for the next few days at least, and save the new long sleeve clothes for later in the fall. The children now have phys. ed. 4 days a week, so it is important that they have t-shirts and good sneakers at least. Feel free to pack a pair of shorts in their bookbags for them to change into at noon if they wish, and it is also a good idea to send a water bottle.

Please remember to check the agendas every night, and to send back any forms, orders, etc. Even if you are not ordering the magazines (chickadee, highlights, etc.) please sign and return the slip as we get free stuff for the class, depending on how many slips we get back. Also, please send in $7 for the agenda.

On Tuesday, homework duotangs will go home in Kindergarten, and should be returned by Friday. This week, they just have to print their name and draw a picture, so it should be pretty painless. As you are working with them at home, please encourage your children to print their names using lower case letters (excepr for the first letter of course!)

Reminders:
*Send back forms signed ASAP.
*Sent in $7 for agenda.
*K-2 "Sock Hop" Thursday night from 6-7pm.
*School Pictures are are next week, September 14-17. I'll let you know exactly what day as soon as I know.
*Book orders are due Sept. 17th.
