Happy Friday Kipling Families,

Our calendar year is quickly coming to an end and we are three days away from winter break. Thank you for an amazing first half of this school year! Halfway through my second year at Kipling, working with your kids and getting to spend time with them throughout the building continues to be the best part of my day. Our families and our PTO have all been incredibly supportive and such a pleasure to partner with. I cannot express how much gratitude I have for your positive collaboration. Working and learning with this Kipling staff is so rewarding as each one of them approaches every conversation with your child in their mind and heart. Kipling is such a special place and we are all lucky to be a part of this tremendous community.

I hope you all enjoy 18 days off with family and friends. Eat great food and sleep in as much as possible! Let’s commit to celebrating this time by being as present as possible with our kids.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and your families!

Respectfully,

-Matthew

Spirit Week is 12/18-12/20! Please see the attached information.

The Library Information Specialist team came across this resource and I felt compelled to share it with families in hopes of providing insight, support, and advice in navigating and supporting healthy and productive student use of technology and social media at home. Each week Mr. Lombardo will be linking a quick video from the Common Sense for Families YouTube Channel.

-Please stay in your car and continue to pull as far forward as possible. We want to keep the line moving as efficiently as possible.

-If your child needs to be unbuckled/buckled in please let our staff know and someone can help them get in or out of the car.

-If you want to walk your child to or from the door, please find a parking spot in the lot or on the street and then walk to the building.
