 * 4K Parent Info Meeting Notes **

When you arrive at school, please assist your child in hanging up their coat and backpack in the beginning of the year, then transition them to doing it themselves there after.

Make sure to have your child go to the bathroom BEFORE SCHOOL every day and PLEASE be on time.

Check backpacks every night. Take out art and family mail.

Please take items that are for school, such as notes and family mail envelopes, out of their backpack and put them in the mail basket on top of the cabinet outside the 4K door.

If you have checked out a literacy bag – return it on Friday. Take it out of their backpack and place in the blue tub outside the 4K door. You cannot keep a literacy bag over the weekend – Please read the NEW Literacy Bag procedure and guidelines on the website. __ Please check the list of bag contents and make sure all items are back in the literacy bag before you return it on Friday __.

Each child has a journal and Handwriting Without Tears book that he/she works in and keeps at school. All of our letter and number practice is done in them as well as our theme related creative writing pages. I will share the journals and Handwriting Without Tears books at conferences and the kids will take them home at the end of the year.

Alpha-tales books will come home as we introduce a new letter of the alphabet. They are for the kids to keep – a ring to hold them will be included with their first book.

The kids will have the opportunity to work with some upper school buddies this year for religion projects.

__ All field trip chaperones and classroom volunteers must have taken the Safe Guarding All God's Families class. __

Conferences are done twice a year. Please allow families with two working parents to take the night time conferences. Conferences will last 10-15 minutes each.

PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL MRS. TENPENNY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I am available EVERYDAY IN THE MORNING.
