Today is our second day with our (mostly) full class, and things are going well! Students are making new friends, adjusting to having more bodies in the room, and learning routines. We will continue to have additional students trickle in over the next coming weeks and months, with all transition students in no later than mid-December. So our Div. 27 family will continue to grow!
The focus of these first few weeks is building classroom community and learning what is expected in Kindergarten. We will be discussing our behaviour in terms of finding our inner super hero – what makes you a star at school? To reinforce at home, families can use the language of “star behaviour” or “kindergarten super powers” when their child is helpful, brave, or kind.
With the recent wet weather, we are finding that some students are coming to school not prepared to play outside in the rain. Please ensure that your child has waterproof boots and a rain jacket each day. Waterproof pants or a muddy buddy are highly recommended and can be left at school with their extra change of clothes.
Another couple of housekeeping reminders:
- Please make a School Cash Online account and log on. There you will find some digital forms that we need you to complete as soon as possible.
- Please pay $25 on School Cash Online for Kindergarten Supplies. It will be open for payment until September 30.
- There is no school tomorrow (Friday, September 25) due to a Professional Development Day.
- Monday, September 28 is our first full day together! Please take note of your arrival and dismissal time, which is staggered based on your child’s last name. Last names beginning with A-L arrive at 8:55 and dismiss by 2:50; last names beginning with M-Z arrive at 9:05 and dismiss by 3:02.
Today, students will be bringing home an information letter for families – please read over it, and let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for supporting your child!
