Wear sneakers on days we have P.E.

Green Take Home Folder
Every night your child will bring home a green take home folder with notices and completed classwork. Please review and remove any classwork or notices.
Class Dojo
Make sure to connect to our Class Dojo. This is where I post most updates on what we are doing in our class, upcoming events and reminders. While Dojo has a messaging service, please communicate with me through e-mail.
Homework
While kindergarten does not receive nightly homework it is important to read to your child as much as possible. Make it part of your daily routine. Sight words will be sent home with suggested practice ideas.
Lunch and Snack
We eat lunch at 11:50. It is a long morning and our schedule does not fit a morning snack at this time. Please make sure your child eats breakfast before school.
We eat snack around 2:00. Please pack a healthy, nut-free, easy to open, and minimally messy snack for your child. If you are packing something that needs a utensil please provide the utensil.
Practice opening containers and packages at home : )
Dismissal Changes
Send in a note or email when your child will be traveling home differently then usual. Write their first and last name on the note, as well as my name. If you send an e-mail about any dismissal changes, please be sure to copy our school’s transportation coordinator on the email as well prior to 2:00 p.m. Their contact information is below.

Birthdays
Please note that the Celebration Policy at Bedminster School for birthday celebrations will be Food Free.
If wanted, a book donation in your child’s name may be made for our classroom library. Parent(s) can come in and read a book to the class. If you would like to come in, please contact me in advance so we can arrange a time and day that will work. If your child is having a birthday party at home, please do not distribute invitations at school unless all children are invited.
Recess
If the temperature outside is above freezing and it's not raining, our class will be going outside for recess. Please send your child to school with the appropriate cold-weather clothing.
Please practice putting on gloves, hats and jackets (zippering, too!) at home. It's also helpful to teach how to reverse inside out sleeves and sweatshirts.
