Kindergarten Newsletter

Welcome!

The following information is helpful in making your child's school year successful. 

  1. The school day starts at 7:30.  Dismissal is at 2:05.  All tardies, absences, and early dismissals need a doctor or parent excuse note. 
  2. The curriculum is correlated with the Virginia Standard's of Learning (SOL).  Students need to master the kindergarten SOL's for promotion.  Students will receive progress reports and report cards.
  3. Students will use an agenda to help with daily behavior notification and messages.  It will come home nightly and needs to be returned to school daily.
  4. Breakfast is offered for students to eat in the classroom from 7:00-7:25.  Students can bring or purchase a lunch.
  5. Bus riders will be supplied a "bus tag" that must be worn daily.  Students are not allowed on the bus without a "bus tag".  Teachers will supply the tags.
  6. Classwork and school notifications will come home every Thursday in the school "communicator" folder.
  7. Students are responsible for appropriate classroom behavior.  Daily classroom behavior will be noted in the agenda.  The behavior color "key code" is in the classroom pamphlet provided at "Ranger Round-up". 
  8. Conferences will be made to discuss your child's academic, behavioral, and social skills.  A parent/teacher conference day has been scheduled for November 7.  Parents can request a conference to discuss any questions or concerns. 
  9. Students will receive 45 minutes resource (physical education, music, art, library) on a rotating schedule.  They will receive 15 minutes recess daily.  Please have your child dress appropriately for daily recess time.
