A Day in the Life of Kindergarten!
Communication
Your teacher will provide you and your child with a weekly newsletter. In addition, the teacher will communicate classroom activities, happenings, and student learning through a digital learning journal called Seesaw. More information on how to access this app will be provided weeks prior to the start of the school year.
Your child will also have a take home folder. Please check this each day as it will be a way to send important messages/forms back and forth.
The Elementary Building will send monthly newsletters through Messenger, you will receive these and other important messages through email.
