Getting Ready for Preschool

Dear Parents, As you prepare for the exciting new preschool year, we would like to share our vision for success for your preschooler. The first few weeks of preschool we will be working towards independent self-care, which is a foundation for all early learning experiences. With this in mind, we would encourage you to practice these skills at home in preparation for preschool. This includes putting on and taking off shoes, and opening and closing lunch boxes and food containers. This will ease the daily routine and transitions for your child in preschool. Within the first week of school, please bring the following items to school:

• A complete, labeled set of clothes in a labeled zip-lock bag

• A set of either velcro close or slip on in-door shoes (no crocks please)

• Two rolls of nickels for Tzedakka

• Smock or Dad’s old shirt for messy art

• Muddy Buddy – for Vancouver rainy, outdoor play Due to limited storage space we will be asking parents to send in Kleenex and wipes as needed. Looking forward to seeing you in September. Emme Bryant and Devorah Brody

Dear Kindergarten and Grade 1 Parents:

Re: School Supplies 2013-2014

Welcome to everyone! For those of you who are returning to VHA, you may already be familiar with our classroom routines. For the new students, we have a few items to communicate about supplies and books. Students are always excited about the newness of the beginning of the school year and being prepared is always so important!

A school list for your child is attached. In addition to our book list, there is a set supply fee of $40 .00 for Kindergarten and Grade 1, which covers all classroom supplies for the school year. The classroom teachers will purchase the supplies for the students.

Our classrooms are set up around various centres of activity. We have found that communal supplies are the most effective system for teaching individual and group responsibility as well as for allowing us to orient the class to using the materials properly. Purchasing the supplies in this way is also the most economical method. Please send a cheque for $40.00 made out to VHA on the first day of school in an envelope with your child’s name. The supply fee does not include the school agenda or books. Please consult the order form accompanying this letter. You may send your book order and the book fees to the school office during the month of August, when we will be processing all of the orders in preparation for the first day of classes.

We ask that you kindly send the following additional supplies from home on the first day of school:

• 2 boxes of facial tissue • 4 rolls of nickels (for tzedaka), • 1 complete change of clothing (to be kept in the classroom and use as needed), and a

pair of indoor shoes with Velcro closures. Students are also required to have runners for gym. These runners can be used as the student’s indoor shoes. Please bag and label all items with your child’s name. They will be kept on your child’s cubby hook and used when needed.

• 1 cloth bag to be used to take home projects

Please contact us with any questions you have and we would be happy to help.

Yours truly,

Rabbi Don Pacht Head of School

An English Translation of the Torah text that your child is studying, preferably with Rashi, is highly recommended for at-home study, review and homework. Artsroll, Mesorah and other companies print reliable, readable books. Though they are expensive, they will last your family throughout the years, be”H. A less expensive, though less thorough home aid would be the Artscroll Stone Edition Tanach. This is a translation of the entire Bible with occasional comments, though without the full Rashi. This book can be ordered through the school for $70.00. Please indicate above if you wish the school to order this item.

August 2013 Dear Parents,


Grade 2 Students – Supply Fee of $35.00 To help establish the clear guidelines and routines that are so vital in the first years of formal schooling, our primary teachers are asking parents to provide funds for school supplies and they will purchase the necessary items. We are doing this for several reasons. This request for specific items facilitates teachers moving students with ease from one subject area to another. As well, teachers will be able to purchase items, such as scissors for the entire class, and have them remain in the class for use on a regular basis, rather than individual students having left the necessary supplies at home. Please send the supply fee of $35.00 by cheque to the VHA office on the first day of school and mark the envelope with your child’s name. Any child whose family has not brought money for supplies will not be able to use the class supplies. Please note that this fee does not include the school agenda or books. An order form for these items is attached. (Cheques for book orders may be mailed into the school during the month of August along with the book order). Please also send with your child on the first day of school a pair of indoor (gym) runners and 3 boxes of Kleenex. Yours truly, Rabbi Don Pacht Head of School
