First Day of School

Dear Kindergarten families,

Welcome to Kindergarten! Thank you to those of you who attended Kindergarten Kick-Start yesterday morning. It was nice meeting many of you! If you were not able to attend, I included the information sheet in your manila folder today.

Important Dates to Remember:
• August 24th – PTO Ice Cream Social (6:30-8:00pm)
• August 28th – Bring an adult-sized shoe box to school
- School Supplies Due (in a bag labeled with your child’s name)
• September 3rd – Back to School Night (7:15-8:00pm)
• September 7th – Labor Day (no school)

Back to School Night
Please save the date: Thursday, September 3rd. There will be a PTO Meeting in the Multipurpose (MP) room from 7:00-7:15pm. Then I will hold a meeting in Room 8 from 7:15-8:00pm. This is a very important meeting where I will be discussing our classroom procedures, standards, homework, volunteer schedules, etc. This event is for parents only.

Folders
Your child will be bringing home a folder everyday in his or her backpack (orange for AM, green for PM) starting on Friday. This folder will have your child’s daily work along with other important information. Please review and remove all the papers in the folder every night. If you have any information or papers for me, please place them inside the folder. Make sure your child brings their folder to school everyday! Some days the folder will come home empty. Do not be alarmed, we do a lot of hands-on activities in class, so some days there will not be much paperwork. Also, I save a lot of their work for an end-of-the-year project.

Parent-Teacher Conferences
In early October, I will be able to meet with each individual family to discuss your child’s strengths and needs. If you have any information you would like me to know prior to this meeting (health concerns, family living situations, etc.), please let me know on the “Let’s Get Acquainted Sheet.”

First Day Packet & Extra Info
There will be a lot of information coming home today that needs to be signed and returned to school. Please return the items in the manila folder by Monday, August 24th.

School Playgrounds
During school hours, students may not play on the playground structures unless a teacher is supervising. This is between the hours of 8:30am to 3:45pm. Remember to park your cars (not in the bus circle!) if you are picking up or dropping off.

AM Parents: Please remember to wait in the bus circle (outside of Room 1) until 12:20pm. Then you may come to pick up your child and return home. Please do not let your child run around or play at Eaton after 12:20pm.

PM Parents: Please pick up your child at 3:05pm (Tuesdays 2:30pm) and then return home. Please do not let your child run around or play after 3:05pm.

Thank you for your help to follow Eaton school rules. I am looking forward to a wonderful year and am super excited to get to know you and your child better!
