ROE Kindergarten - Week of Feb. 3

We Are Better Together!

Greetings Kindergarten Families

Greetings Kindergarten Families,

It was a full week of learning together! Remember to turn in Field Trip forms as soon as you are able and keep on selling Chocolate for our school Fundraiser:) We will celebrate our 100th day of school on Thursday, February 6th -- students may dress for the occasion (like an old person, 100 things on a shirt, etc.). Our classes will also celebrate Valentine's day on Thursday, February 13th. Students may bring cards to exchange with classmates, however there will be no formal "party". Please check with your child's teacher to see how many students are in their class.

Following are some important reminders to keep in mind for this school year:

School hours are 7:20-3:05. If you are dropping your child off after 7:20, please park in the front parking lot and sign your child in at the front office. If you are arriving after 3:30pm for pickup, please park in the front parking lot and walk to the office with your car tag.
Attendance Matters: Arriving on time ensures that your child can begin the day smoothly, without missing out on valuable instruction time or important activities. Please help us by ensuring your child arrives at school by 7:25 ready to win the day.
Transportation changes need to go through the office. Please call 972-617-3523 before 2:00 pm for any transportation changes.
Contacting your child's teacher: If you call or email your child's teacher, they will respond within 24 hours as our focus during the day is your students.
Lunch with your student: Parents are welcome to visit during lunches of scholars on any day of the week.
Birthday treats: Birthday treats will only be served on Fridays. You may drop off treats in the office and they will be delivered to the classroom.

Art Club

Our first Art Club meeting will be on Thursday, February 6 from 3:30-4:30 -- come, create, have fun!
