Kindergarten Information

We have some special policies and procedures for our Kindergarten students, and we want to be sure to inform you about them.

For our Kindergarteners, we ask that parents (or an older sibling) drop them off in the morning at the kindergarten door at the end of the children’s hallway in room 105. It is a good idea to come about 5 minutes early so you (or an older sibling) may sign your K student up for pizza at the front entry on their own order form. This helps our lunch coordinator know exactly how many slices of pizza to bring to the K rooms. You may pay the pizza attendant at the table before or after taking your student to class.

If you’re picking up after the Kindergarten “block” of classes (2:00), your child will be waiting for you at the Kindergarten room. Otherwise, you may wait in the lobby to get them when the bell rings. Please remember classes actually end at 5 minutes BEFORE the hour (for example, 12:55, 1:55, 2:55).

Our Kindergarteners eat lunch in their classroom, around 11:30, with their teachers.

Please send a non-twist top water bottle that your child can open and securely close on their own. Label with their name. The twist top water bottles often get knocked over during lunch and spill. Please always bring a water bottle for your child! The little ones get thirsty quickly and often!

Please package and label your child's lunch and snack items separately.

Please keep a change of clothes (shirt, pants, socks, underwear) in your child's backpack and change it seasonally to match the temperature.

Things spill, kids get sticky, and occasionally a child will have an "accident." A change of clothing assures your child's comfort and saves you an emergency clothing run to the school during the day.

Beginning a new school year is always an exciting time and a fun time for students to shop for school supplies! While we have all of our educational supplies ready to go, below is a short list of items that would help with the organization of your child’s school materials and help to keep a consistent line of communication between home and school.

Kindergarten School Supplies

*A backpack big enough to hold a pocket folder, a lunch box, a snack, and a change of clothes.

*A lunch box/bag to carry a daily snack/drink and/or lunch/drink. (If your child will be bringing a lunch to school, please package and label “snacks” separately from “lunch”).
