2007 Back to school letter for parents
August 1, 2007
Dear Parents,
We are very excited and pleased to have the opportunity to spend this school year with your child. We are aware that teaching must begin with making your child feel at home in our classrooms. It will be important to help all of the children come together into a learning community made up of unique individuals, each with his or her own learning style, interests, history, hopes and dreams. To help us know more about your child please complete the attached information sheet and send it in your child’s backpack on the first day. Please bring all of the requested school supplies and snack (see attached note) in a bag or backpack on the first day if possible.
Supplies requested:
1 child size fiskars scissors
1 standard size eraser
1 backpack brought daily (large enough for large library books)
1 large box of Kleenex
1 bottle of Elmer’s glue (not gel)
12 small glue sticks
1 box of Crayola crayons (24 count, no Roseart brand)
1 8 pack of washable markers (any color)
1 plain pencil bag (Approx. 10” x 6”)
1 plastic 2 pocket folder (Mrs. Frerichs only)
- Please put your child’s name on all items. If you have crayons, markers, colored pencils or other supplies you would like to donate to our Art center you can send them along too!
- The children can begin arriving on the kindergarten patio in the morning at 8:15. The bell to go inside rings at 8:25 and the tardy bell rings at 8:30. There is no adult supervision before 8:15 so your children shouldn’t be at school before then unless they’re eating breakfast at school or ride the bus to school. If your child attends a day care please let your day care know the children should not be here before 8:15. If they’re eating breakfast at school they can go directly to the gym beginning at 8:00. School will dismiss at 3:20(we generally let kindergartners out at 3:15 so that we are sure to get everyone to the right place) and the children need to be picked up promptly because there is only supervision until 3:25. On our first day of school we will dismiss at 11:40.
Enjoy the last few days of summer vacation! We look forward to seeing your child on Thursday, August 16th!
Mrs. Frerichs
