I forgot to mention in my last post that there is no pizza tomorrow.  Please send a lunch that requires no microwaving.  Since the weather isn’t looking great, we’ll be having our teddy bear picnic in the library!

Can you believe that tomorrow is our last day of Kindergarten? It feels like just yesterday we were meeting each other for the first time, learning classroom routines, and beginning to explore all the wonders of school life. What a great year it has been! I have truly loved teaching this group of Kindies—watching them grow has been an absolute gift.

As we head into our final day together, here are a few important details to keep in mind:

Knight Wear

Mrs. Goosen has made the decision that elementary students may wear Knight clothing tomorrow if they wish.

Welcome Wednesday
We’ll wrap up our year with a short slideshow and some certificates to celebrate all of our amazing Kindie students. It would mean so much to your child if one special adult could be there to share this moment with them. It’s a sweet way to end the year together.

Teddy Bear Picnic
Please remind your child to bring a teddy bear (or another small stuffed friend) to school for our picnic.

Locker Clean-Out
We’ll be sending home everything from our lockers, including pillows, gym shoes, boots, and all the little extras that have been living at school. Please send a large bag with your child so they can easily carry everything home.

Dismissal Time
Please note that dismissal tomorrow will be at 2:45 p.m., our regular time.

Thank you for all of your support this year. It has been a privilege to be part of your child’s learning journey. Wishing you a restful, joy-filled summer!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Morris

Please send your child’s June home reading sheet back to school next week.  In exchange, your child will receive a small prize.

Our big Fun Day is coming up this Friday, and the excitement is building! We’re busy getting everything ready for a morning full of games, laughter, and sunshine.

I’m still looking for a couple of parent volunteers to help make the morning run smoothly.

If you’re available to help out, please send me an email at dmorris@highroadacademy.com.

Thanks so much for your support — we couldn’t do it without you!

Next week your child will be coming home with a bag full of duotangs and other bits and pieces of their Kindie year.  Please take some time to sit down with them and let them show you their work.  They should all be very proud of their effort and how much they learned this year!

That said, could you please send a plastic or cloth bag to school with your child  in the next couple of days?

Thanks!

We have been reflecting on how much we’ve grown this year.  I thought it would also be fun to see how much the children have changed since they were much younger.  Would you be able to send a baby photo of your child to school by Wednesday?  Please bring it in an envelope marked with your child’s name.  We will be playing a guessing game with them the following week.  I will make sure your photo is returned to you when we are finished with the activity.  Thanks!

Our last Welcome Wednesday will be on June 18th.  Please plan to be here if you can.  We will take a few minutes at the end to celebrate each one of our students on their last day of Kindergarten!

Our primary Fun Day is coming up soon.  It will be on Friday, June 13 with an early dismissal at 11:30.  I am looking for some parent volunteers to help run centers.  K-3 students will cycle through and visit each center for about 10 minutes.  If you are free to help that morning, could you let me know, please?  I would be so appreciative!  You can email me at dmorris@highroadacademy.com

Thanks!
