Get Ready for a “Bee-utiful” Year in Kindergarten!

A permission slip came home last week regarding our pumpkin patch! I apologize it wasn’t sooner, but we used a grant and fundraiser money (from the class pictures) to pay for this field trip and still had to work out all the details. Students are free but any parents wanting to attend must pay $5. Some parents may have to drive. We will not be spending the whole day out there, only until about 11:30am. Then we will be returning to school for the rest of our day!
Grade cards came home last week. PLEASE SEND BACK IN SIGNED ENVELOPE AND LETTER ID FORM! I don’t need the grade card itself.
I sent a green parent-teacher conference note home to those that had signed up at open house! Please confirm your time ASAP, so that I know what I have open to set up a time with those that didn’t sign up at open house!
I will be sending a note home soon to the parents that signed up to help with the Halloween party! We welcome all the help we can get, so even if you didn’t sign up to donate, please feel free to attend and lend a hand!
A note went home Friday regarding Halloween costumes! They can wear them to school the day of the party but they must be able to get in and out of their costume to go to the bathroom on their own. Please also keep in mind we will go to recess and possibly PE on that day! No masks or weapons! Please refer to the note if any other questions. NO COSTUMES ON HALLOWEEN OCTOBER 31st!!!
