WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN!** What a great day today! The students had an exciting time “searching” for the Gingerbread man to learn the many places throughout our school. We looked in the library, the cafeteria, the gym, the bathroom, the playground, and many others. We finally found something he left for us in the front office! ** Be sure to check our classroom page through “Teacher’s Web.” You may access it through our MES website. Just click on “Faculty,” scroll down and click on my picture. You will find a copy of our weekly memo along with other useful information.

** I know the paperwork is overwhelming, but it would be very helpful if you could return all forms as soon as possible.

REMINDERS: ** Please send a snack or snack money each day. If you send a snack from home, please label the snack or baggie with your child’s name. Nutritional snacks only. Snacks are 75 cents at the snack shop. ** Any transportation changes MUST be in writing. Send a note to school in your child’s folder. ** Please check your child’s folder daily for notes that may be sent home. ** As they adapt to school routines, help your child nightly by having them pack their own folder in their school bag every day. ** If your child would like a small, thin blanket (such as a receiving blanket) at rest time, please send it to school . This will come home every Friday for cleaning. ** If you haven’t already done so, please send in all school supplies. Thanks!
