<strong>Pick Up and Drop Off</strong>

School hours are from 8:55am-3:30pm.  There is supervision on the small playground at 8:30 am.  Please do not bring your child to the classroom.  Children are to line up on their room number and teachers will come outside to pick them up.  If there is inclement weather, kindergarten students can go to the boy’s canteen until 8:55am.   Students will be dismissed from school at the north doors near the small playground.  Teachers will remain outside for a few minutes, but any child who has not been picked up by 3:45 pm will be sent to the office.  Please be prompt because there is no supervision after school hours.

<strong>Snack</strong>

We do serve a light snack in the afternoon.  We are asking that children bring in snack once a month.  We prefer healthy snacks such as pretzels, granola bars, crackers or fresh fruit that has been washed and cut.  Please send in a snack next Monday to share with the class.

<strong>Lunch</strong>

Outdoor recess and lunch will be from 11:00- 11:45 am.  The cost of hot lunch is $1.85 per day and $9.25 per week.  Milk is 35 cents.  Lunch money must be turned in the <strong>first day of the week</strong> in an envelope or baggy marked with the amount and your child’s name.  Checks are not accepted.  Free and reduced lunch forms will be given to you.  (Please let us know if you need another form.)

<strong>Transitioning </strong>

For some children, the transition to kindergarten can be difficult.  If your child is having a particularly hard time adjusting, we may call you during the day to comfort your child.  This is a normal part of the transition!

<strong>Green Friday Folders</strong>

All handouts will be distributed on Fridays in the green Ray School folders.  Please return these every Monday morning with any paperwork that needs to come back to school.

<strong>Miscellaneous</strong>

v      Our gym day is <strong>Thursday</strong>.  Please make sure that your child is wearing rubber soled gym shoes.

v      Our Open House will be Wednesday, Sept. 23<sup>rd</sup>.  At that time we will be able to answer questions about specifics to our classrooms.  Please arrange for your children to stay at home.

<strong>We are looking forward to a great kindergarten year!</strong>

<strong>Sincerely, </strong>
