In the back of your child's orange take home folder, you will find your child's lunch code. Please practice this code with your child. They will need to know their code when buying lunch from the cafeteria.
Please send in a pair of headphones for your child to use in the classroom if you have not done so already. A pair of headphones with a cord to plug in to the iPad is preferred. No bluetooth or wireless headphones, please. Students will be using headphones frequently to complete various activities and assessments.

Dear Kindergarten Families,
My name is Bibi Yasmin Katsev, and along with Priscila Tamplain, I’ll be serving as your Kindergarten Grade Level Coordinator (GLC) this year.
As your GLCs, we’ll help coordinate several exciting activities throughout the school year, including:
Birthday celebrations for our amazing Kindergarten teachers
Lunchtime support
Thanksgiving Feast*
Winter Holiday Party
Valentine’s Day Party
Kindergarten Rodeo & Music Program
End-of-Year Kindergarten Party*
*Please note: Events marked with an asterisk are not PTA-sponsored and will require financial contributions from families.
I occasionally send PTA-related emails throughout the year regarding information for these events.
If you would like to have your email(s) on my list, please complete this brief Google Form as OCT staff are no longer able to share any emails with Grade Level Coordinators. Please note that your emails will not be shared with anyone else other than myself.
We’re excited for a fun-filled, memorable year together. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
Best,
Bibi Yasmin Katsev
Kindergarten GLC
