Hello!

I wanted to send a  note with a few important details before Open House. I’m looking forward to meeting your child and beginning a wonderful new school year together!

Most classroom notes and information will be sent through email this year. You can also find general classroom information on my website:

Here are a few important things to know:

• Snack: We will not have a snack time this year. Our lunch time is at 11:00 a.m.

• Breakfast: Free breakfast will be served in the cafeteria when students arrive and put their belongings away. Students who eat breakfast at home may go outside. Students who finish breakfast may also go outside before school begins, if time permits.

• Water Bottles: Feel free to send a labeled water bottle with your child each day. Water only, please.

• Purple Take-Home Folder: On the first day of school, your child will receive a purple take-home folder. Please check this folder daily for important information. If you need to send a note to school, please place it in the folder, as I check folders each morning. Please remind your child to bring the folder back and forth to school every day.

• Transportation Changes: If your child has a change in their regular afternoon routine, please send a note or call the office. If you email transportation changes to me, please also include Deanna Kulzer (dkulzer@district745.org) on the email.

• School Spirit Day: Every Friday is School Spirit Day! Students can wear Albany Huskies clothing or purple and white.

• Birthday Celebrations: On your child’s birthday, please have them bring a favorite book from home for me to read to the class. No food treats may be served. Trinkets are optional.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I’m excited for a great year and look forward to meeting you and your child at Open House!
