We are a SCENT AWARE and NUT AWARE school
What you will need:
What you will need:
A large backpack. Big enough for your child's lunch bag, extra clothes and school mailbag (you will get a mailbag your first week of school). Label everything your child brings to school. Practice putting things in your backpack and zipping it up.
Tip:
Check your child's backpack daily for notes or for soiled clothes. Please replace or return laundered clothes the next school day.
Backpack tip: Get it larger than you think. It is easier for your child to pack and zip a backpack with room in it then one that is too tight.
A lunch bag, water bottle and containers that your child can open and close independently. Label all containers and lids. Practice using them at lunch at home and putting them back into your lunch bag.
Bento boxes are popular and can be great if you practice opening them ahead of time. Often children have difficulty with these and the whole lunch ends up on the floor
These type of containers are easiest for our Mini Mustangs to open and close independently.
We have a water bottle filling station in the school.
Labelled indoor shoes. Make sure your child can put them on independently. Kindergarten students put their shoes on and off upwards of 6 times a day! Practice putting on your shoes and boots before you begin school.
Non marking, non slip, indoor shoes. Pull on or velcro is best unless your child knows how to quickly tie laces independently.
OOPS BAG: Spare clothes with each item labelled in a large Ziplock bag for accidents (bathroom or puddles). Please put child's first and last name on the bag.
Check daily for soiled clothes and return replacement clothes or laundered items the next school day
Label all clothes and the bag: 1 shirt, 2-3 socks, 2 underwear and 1-2 pants
Outdoor clothes for all weather. Our kindergarten program involves going outside in all types of weather. Children need to be prepared and learn best when they are warm and dry during outdoor learning. Remember to label all items.
Tip: buy multiple pairs of the same mitts. Send at least 2 pairs to school.
Socks get wet quickly. Send extra socks.
Label all clothes, shoes and lunch containers.
If interested out school has a Mabel's labels fundraiser. See the link below or click on the photo.
