Rm 3 - Kindergarten

Welcome to Kindergarten!
The most important thing you can do for your child is to read to them EVERY day. I encourage parents and grandparents to email their child short “love” messages every day.
A note to remind you . . .
K students DO NOT bring backpacks. Each child will receive a large laminated homework folder. This folder should go home every afternoon and be returned every morning. This process is very important in teaching your child responsibility.
