First Days of Kindergarten
Kindergarten Camp
Welcome to all of our incoming Nieman Foxes! We are so excited to get to meet your child! To do this, we have "Kindergarten Camp" for the first two days of school. Kindergarten Camp gives students the chance to meet some new friends across the entire grade level and to get to meet and learn from all three of our kindergarten teachers. This allows us get to know your student better and build a classroom roster that is balanced and will best benefit all students in their learning this year. Teacher assignments will be communicated Friday at the end of the day. When you sign up for kindergarten conferences below, you will get to learn a little more about the team and some of the important steps to help your child get off to a great start to their year.
First Day Drop Off Procedure for Kindergarten
If you would like to walk your child into the building on the first day, August 15th, please park in a parking space in one of the front parking lots of the school and cross at the main crosswalk to enter the building. If you are dropping your kindergarten student off for the day, use the front circle drive. This is for drop off only and parents are asked to remain in their vehicle to keep the line moving forward.
All kindergarten students will gather in the library prior to the start of their morning. You are free to wait with them as they get settled in. At the start of the school day, parents will remain in the library and the Nieman staff will take students to the classrooms. PTA will be hosting a "Tears and Cheers" in the library for parents. This will be an informal opportunity to connect with our PTA and with other Kindergarten parents. Information about joining the PTA will be available and is encouraged to help support your student and their success throughout their time here at Nieman.
Action Items to Do:
Sign up for Kindergarten Conferences
Please sign up for a conference with the Nieman Kindergarten teachers by clicking the blue button below. This is where you will bring in supplies, fill out some paperwork, ask questions, and get important information regarding kindergarten prior to the first day!
We do a kindergarten camp the first two days of kindergarten, so classroom teachers will not be assigned until after school on Friday, August 16th. With this, we are offering 4 group sessions where you can meet all three of the kindergarten teachers, or you can sign up for an individual conference with one of the kindergarten teachers
(Note: This teacher is not guaranteed to be your child’s teacher.)
We will also have Spanish translation during 2 of our group sessions and for individual sessions. Please indicate if you need a Spanish translator.
