Welcome

Dear Parents/Guardians, 


It is with pleasure that we welcome you and your child to kindergarten. 
Cooperatively we can provide an educational environment which will enhance 
the learning experience planned this year. We want your child to have a 
successful year, therefore, listed below are some helpful reminders and 
schedules: 

   *Spanish class on Mondays with Mrs. Cusmano 
 
   *P.E. days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings with Ms. Blount or 
Coach Green. Your child does not change into a special uniform. They take 
P.E. in their school uniform. 
 
   *The students will have Music with Ms. Ford on Monday and Wednesday 
mornings.
 
   *Flag Ceremony is held on Wednesday mornings in front of the school with 
the entire student body. 
 
   *We have church visitations on Tuesdays at Most Holy Redeemer Church. We 
attend "All School Masses" with our 8th Grade Guardian Angels. 
 
   *Friday will be Library day with Mrs. Anderson. When books are checked out 
on Friday, they must be returned by the following Thursday to our classrooms. 
The class with 100% book returns gets a special banner at Flag Ceremony. We 
would love to get that banner every week. 
 
   *Please label your child’s belongings including: the uniform, shoes, 
sweaters, lunch box, and lunch tickets (with KA or KB on back of the lunch 
tickets) 
 
   *Your child’s nap towel will go home on Fridays for cleaning and must be 
returned clean on Monday.
 
   *Folders and planners are sent home every day and must be returned the 
following school day. Please review the conduct mark stamped in the planner 
with your child and sign the planner daily. Please help us by moving the 
clear bookmark from Fridays to Mondays. :) 
 
*Each student was assigned a class number that is written on the planner and 
folder. Please use your child's class number throughout the year to find your 
child's snack and share day. We will not post your child's name on the 
website, only the class number. 
 
   *Snacks-Please send 14 (KA) or 13(KB) healthy snacks (preferably all the 
same)on your snack day.(see snack calendar on website) Juice is needed only 
on early dismissal days. The snack calendar will start on August 24. 
 
   *Share Day-We will begin the Monday after Labor Day, September 14th. Your 
child may bring an item to share with the class on his/her share day. Please 
send the item in a plastic bag. Have your child practice telling about the 
share item before coming to class. Please see the share calendar on the 
website. 
 
Sincerely,    
Mrs. P. Vanderhider
