Bits of Information

It's that time of year when we all want to let our toes out! With warm weather comes sandals and flip flops. Please make sure that your child is wearing shoes that will be safe for them to run around on the playground with. Also, on gym days it is important that your child wears tennis shoes or bring tennis shoes to change into for gym. This is to make sure your child stays safe while participating in all the fun physical activities in gym.

End of the year conference sign-ups came home today. Please, sign up for your top 3 choices (numbering your preferences) and send it in by Next Friday. I would really like to have everyone’s conference scheduled before we leave for Spring Break.

PICTURES: INDIVIDUAL PICTURE PACKAGES taken on 3/1 by Strawbridge Studios have been sent home in your student's folder. Please return your payment along with any sheets you do not wish to purchase. The entire package is $55. If you do not wish to purchase any of the pictures, please return the entire package to school. Please send payments and/or returned pictures to school by Friday, April 1st. "PRE-PAID" CLASSROOM GROUP PICTURES will be delivered next week. Thank you!

Thanks to all those who helped by bringing in snacks for the extended days. It really helped the kiddos!

We have our spring field trip tentatively scheduled for Thursday, April 28th. We will be going to The Explorium, which is the children’s museum in downtown Lexington. I will send home a permission form once I get everything squared away on my end. If you would like to come, please make sure you have completed a criminal record background check. Also, know that if you come you may be in charge of a group of 5 kids. We hope to have many of you come and join us for one of the last big events in kindergarten. Just a reminder that this trip will be around $10 a child. If you are able to give more to help, that would be greatly appreciated!

Please keep sending in homework on Wednesday’s. It makes it much easier for me to get everything done for it to go back home on Friday.

Please review your child’s report card and read the letter that came home with it. It will give you ideas on how to help your child in any areas that they do not currently have a four in. Please sign and return the envelopes by Friday.
