Dear Families,
It gives me great pleasure to know that I will
be working with you and your kindergartner. I look
forward to the exciting and rewarding experiences we
will have together. The following information may
help to answer any questions you may have about our
classroom.
Snack
The children will be given time to have a snack each
day in the afternoon. It is your responsibility to
send in a daily snack for your child. Please
send in a healthy snack for your child in a separate
bag or lunch box clearly labeled snack. I strongly
urge all parents to send a snack every day as our
lunch is very early at 11:15am!
Milk
Snack milk is provided on a weekly basis for a $2.00
for a full week. If your child chooses to purchase
milk for snack, money must be sent in a sealed
envelope with your child’s name, my name (Mrs. Ogborn) and the type of milk your child would like.
The milk choices are chocolate, 2% white or skim.
Snack milk is collected on Friday Mornings Only
(unless otherwise noted or your child is absent
from school). Please make sure I receive your
child's milk money on this day. You may also wish to
provide your child with a beverage daily for snack
if they do not want milk. No soda allowed!
Lunch
Kindergarten will eat lunch from 11:15-11:45 each
day. Children may bring a packed lunch from home or
eat a school lunch. If your child is eating a
school lunch please make sure that any money for the
lunch program is in a sealed envelope and labeled
and placed in your child's folder.
A school menu will be sent home month.
Folders
A clearly labeled folder is needed for your child so
that daily school papers, parent letters, etc. can
be sent to and from school. Anything you send to
school (notes, money etc.) should be in this
folder. I will check the folders in the morning.
Please empty your child’s folder on a daily
basis, as important notes/messages often go
home.
Birthdays
We will celebrate each child’s birthday as it comes
along in the school year since it is a special day
for your child. On your child's birthday feel free
to send a birthday snack. No party favors or
presents please. I ask that if you bring a cake in
you also provide plates and forks. We will
celebrate summer birthdays during the last few weeks
of school!
Book Orders
Every month I will be sending home a Scholastic Book
Club order for you and your child to look over. This
is a great way to build your home library at reduced
prices! If you choose to order,
please send the order form and a check made out to
“Scholastic Book Club” to school in a sealed
envelope with your child’s name on it. It usually
takes two weeks to receive the ordered books.
Family Involvement
You will be welcome to come and visit/or participate
in our classroom throughout the year. There will be
many ways for you to join us. I will share those
ways on our open house night and throughout the year
via my weekly newsletter. Mystery Readers are
always welcome into the classroom to read a few
stories to the class. Please let me know if you or
any family member is interested in reading to the
class.
Safety
Your child’s safety is very important to us. Please
send in a note to school or call the school if your
child is to go home a different way than normal.
This includes having another adult pick up your
child from school. Also please notify the school of
any change in address or emergency telephone
numbers.
I am looking forward to a fun and productive
school year! Please contact me anytime through a
note, email (kogborn@gasd.org) or phone call if you
have any questions or concerns. I will try to get
back to you as quickly as possible. It is my wish
that this will be an enjoyable year for your child.
Mrs. Ogborn
