Do you have nap time?
Due to rigorous academic requirements, we do not have a nap time in kindergarten. In the beginning of the year students are allowed to rest as they adjust to the Kindergarten day. In many classrooms quiet reading time or a read aloud is used as a period of rest. Back to Top

How can I best prepare my student for a great day of school?
1. Set a bedtime and stick to it. It is very important that your student be well rested. If your child is used to taking a long nap, the full day of school can be difficult. At this age it is recommended that children have 10 hours of sleep each night.2. Make sure your child has had a healthy breakfast. Breakfast is served in in the classroom free of charge starting at 7:30.3. Help your student arrive on time. Classroom instruction begins immediately. Tardy students miss out on valuable learning time and disrupt classroom routines. Tardies are reported to the attendance office and recorded on your student's report card.4. Help your child be prepared. Your student needs to have his/her Daily Folder and backpack everyday.Back to Top
