Parent Communication

I am more than happy to speak with parents before or after school. If you would like to make a conference please speak with the teacher directly and set up a time that would work for both the parent and me.

I will be communicating with parents through a blog that each teacher will be updating.

Also through handouts that will be sent home.

Includes: A reading log One assignment for each day

Attendance

Attendance is taken daily Please notify the school the same day if

your child is going to be absent. An absence note is required the following

day. One will be provided by the teacher for you to fill out.

If your child is absent more than two days, a Dr.’s note must be provided.

Daily attendance is very important in order not to let your child fall behind.

Parent Volunteer

We welcome all parent volunteer. Please take some time to fill out our survey

so the Room Parents and I can make a schedule for our volunteers. Once we have set a schedule, we will contact you with a day and time. Please note that teacher will ask for assistance

in clerical and/or helping out in the classroom. Note: When volunteering you may be asked

to assist other teachers other than your child's

Field Trips

Our first field trip!! The LA Zoo October 10th: 8:30am- 2:45pm I need 3 volunteers to come for the whole

day This field trip will be provided by the

school!! Donations to help with the cost and to help

us go on future trips would be greatly appreciated!! Please let me know. Other field trips: City Walk, KinderWalk, Fire

station, and much more

Expectations at Home

Go over alphabet and sounds Practice reading and writing sight words How to write their first and last name If your child is having difficulties adjusting to

school, a suggestion is to set up a routine at home. Routines are a daily thing in Kindergarten and it is important that students recognize and follow routines.

Regular communication with the teacher. We are here to work together for one common goal to help your child succeed.
