Important Information:

This is where you are going to find weekly updates from the Kindergarten Team. The assignments will change weekly. Along with the required assignments, you will find additional resources, a variety of websites, and optional extension activities from other BES staff members. Week 1/COL assignments link below.

Many staff members will be calling and checking in with families several times a week. This is a quick 3-5 minute phone call where teachers can speak with students, or families about any questions or concerns you may have. Feel free to always contact your child’s teacher at any time if a question or concern may arise. Please be aware that staff members may be calling from their personal cell phones. Please know these numbers will be used for outgoing calls only. If you need to contact your child’s teacher please use the Remind App or the FCPS email listed above.

Photos of the assignments will be required to earn a completion grade. Every SUNDAY please send a picture of the completed assignments listed below. You can send the pictures through Remind, or email. Please condense the assignments to submit as few pictures as possible.
