Summer Letter to New Families

Dear Families,

Welcome to kindergarten at Center School! We are very excited to work with you and your child. We will have so much fun reading, writing, and exploring as one happy kindergarten family! Our kindergarten team is united and strong.  We are a united team that works very closely to align curriculum resources across classrooms to ensure continuity.

Here is information about what to send to school with your kindergartener:

• 1 plastic pencil box approximately 2" x 5" x 8" as your child's "work kit" (see photo under Supply List tab)

• 1 lovey or stuffed animal for rest and snuggles

• 1 change of clothes

• 4 recent 4”x6” photographs of your child (they can be the same photo)

The school will provide:

• 1 writing folder

• 1 take home folder for completed work

• Pencils and glue sticks for work kit

• 1 box of 24 crayons 

• 1 pair of children’s blunt scissors

Please write your child’s name on his/her items with a permanent marker.

Your child will have a small personal cubby in the classroom. Below your child’s cubby, s/he will find coat hooks for jackets and backpacks. Please be sure your child’s backpack is big enough to hold his/her papers and art projects.

We are looking forward to working with you and your child. We will work tirelessly to give your child a happy and special kindergarten year.

Sincerely,

The Kindergarten Team
