Dear Parents,
If you could return the information that you recieved in the folder by September 6th, I’d appreciate it (if you could return it by August 30th that would be great, it would give me the weekend to look the forms over). Please also return the folder, I will use it to keep information.
The Birthday Balloon. Please put your child’s first name and birthday (month, day, and year). You may decorate it any way you wish. In the past people have colored it; glued items on it; or put a picture of the birthday girl/boy on it. You may do whatever you wish on it. We will be hanging them in our classroom so we know when your child has a birthday.
All About Me Sheet This will help us know your child better and help when we begin our first unit.
Blue Room Contact Sheet- If you would like to share your information with other families from the classroom, please fill out the information you want shared and I will add you to the contact sheet. It will be shared via email with other parents from the classroom. This is a useful tool for playdates, birthday party invitations etc. If you do not want your information shared, please return the form and indicate that you do not want it shared. I just want to make sure everyone has seen the form.
Email Permission Slip- I often share information via email. I will add you to the Blue Room group email (this is on the All About Me sheet, highlighted in red). I try to BCC when sending group information. I use this to tell about our day, special activities that might be coming up, reminders about days off etc.
A Family Picture labeled with the names on the back so we can add it to our family book that we will keep in our classroom. This is a VERY popular book throughout the year. Please be sure to send a family picture in as the children are always looking through it and the children who do not have a picture feel left out. We will be laminating this picture and keeping it in the classroom all year. It also helps those children who may be feeling nervous. They often like to look at their family for comfort
An Extra Set of Clothing. You have two options. You may leave the extra set in your child’s backpack or we can take it out and store it at school. Please place it in a clear gallon zip lock bag with your child’s name on it. Please label “to leave in backpack” or “for school” so we know what to do with the clothing.
Please label all belongings as we can have at least 15 children per session. Many children have the same or similar clothing and they can easily get mixed up. This is especially true for winter clothes.
Thanks for your cooperation,
The Blue Room Staff
