Important Information

1.  Halloween is fast approaching!!!  We will be having a school-wide Halloween celebration on Wednesday the 31^st.  All students are able to wear their costumes for the day and we ask that they are fully dressed and have all the makeup they need on them before coming to school.  We will also be having a snack time.  If you would like to bring in a healthy snack or a spooky treat, please let us know by email as soon as possible.  We will also be collecting money for UNICEF if you would like to donate.

2. Kindergarten is a busy, fast paced environment.  We make sure to check the purple folders everyday, but only check the backpacks if there is a note to let us know to do so.  If there is anything you would like us to get out of the backpacks, please let us know and we will be sure to have a look.

3. Please be sure to say goodbye to the teacher that releases your child to you at the end of the day.  In all the excitement (especially if there has been a sub), they sometimes rush out past the teacher or run to the parent as soon as they see them.  Please be patient and be sure the teacher has seen you before you head out to enjoy your evening.  Thank you for your understanding.

Have a wonderful long weekend : )
