And just like that our first week is over. I am so proud of each student and parent for the amazing way you have all transitioned from home to Kindergarten this year. Every morning I have asked the children how they feel about being here and I have yet to see a thumbs down! There is so much to learn about how school works I am sure it is overwhelming and tiring for them (it is for me!) Please be patient with your little one if they are having after school meltdowns. It is very common. They work so hard at listening and keeping things together here at school and you are their safe place. Keep loving on them and be patient with yourself too. It’s been quite a year, hasn’t it?
A few things for you to note on your calendar:
Friday, September 18- Individual Photo Day (NOT KNIGHT DAY)- Children will need to wear their uniforms that day. If your child is part time, and you would like school photos, you are welcome to bring your child for photos at the beginning of the day (8:45). Please contact the office if you need more information about where to go when you come for those. If that day doesn’t work for you, another opportunity will be available on October 15 for retakes which I also realize is a Thursday. The photo dates are beyond my control. I am so sorry they aren’t on a Monday-Wednesday for you.
Monday, September 28 is a Professional Development Day – there are no classes that day for students.
Wednesday, September 30- Orange Shirt Day– students are invited to wear orange shirts as we do some age-appropriate learning around that topic.
Also, just a reminder that next week we are continuing with noon dismissal for Kindergarten students. Thank you for being prompt for pick ups!
