Day 2 Details

Posted on by

Here are a few details to keep in mind for the day ahead:

Wednesday, September 6 (1/2 day)

Please make sure to pack the following items into your child’s backpack:  their home folder, a snack, and a water bottle labelled with your child’s name.

When you arrive have your child hang up their backpack inside their locker.

The classroom door will open at 8:35 am.

Please come in with your child and help them with the following tasks:

  • finding and moving their name on our attendance board
  • finding their table spot
  • putting on their nametag
  • getting started on their table activity

Feel free to take a picture if you’d like, and give your child a big hug, telling them you’ll be back at 12 to pick them up.

Note: There might be some tears.  If this happens with your child don’t feel badly about leaving them.  I will happily console them and have always found that children settle much more quickly once mom or dad has left.

We will soon be playing and having a great time with our new Kindie friends!

At noon please come into the school and stand outside our classroom door.  I will call your child to be dismissed when I see you there.

Allergies

Our information shows that there are no food allergies in our classroom.  Please let me know if that is not the case.  Otherwise, you are welcome to send food containing nuts.

 

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me at dmorris@highroadacademy.com and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

See you tomorrow!

Mrs. Morris

I wanted to send a quick note to say how excited I am to begin our year of Kindergarten very soon!

We’re going to have a lot of fun learning together this year.  If you ever have any questions or thoughts about your child’s time in kindergarten, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re partners in this journey.

I can’t wait to see all the amazing things your child will accomplish this year!
