week of August 25, 2014 (Welcome Back)

A quick reference guide to Mrs. Borden/Mrs. Jones’ Kindergarten Room (2014-2015)

Please keep this information in your child’s folder to use during the year! Thanks!

-       We want you to be well informed on what goes on in the classroom and in Kindergarten.  Our newsletters for the week will be sent on a Friday.  Please check the school calendar, the PTO newsletter, and the NSE weekly and monthly newsletter.  Please read them all for the information about what is happening.

-       All of this information will be in your child’s folder.  It must come to/from school every day in a book bag.  They will need both every day to transport important information and their belongings.  Please check both sides of the folder each day and take out the left at home papers.

 -       If there are any questions, please feel free to write a note and put it in your child’s folder, we will write back that day.  Or you can call at (570) 874-3661 ext. 3237 and leave a message.  You can also email us at: jborden@northschuylkill.net or ajones@northschuylkill.net .  Please also check our blogs under the North Schuylkill Website, under the Elementary School tab, under Homework Helpline, and click on Borden, J.

 

       Our homework will be explained in greater detail in the next few weeks.  Homework is a vital part of your child’s learning and we feel it is important to show your children that you value their learning by continuing to practice at home.  Kindergarten follows the homework policy stated in the NSE handbook, please review it and follow the policy.  Our homework should not take a long amount of time and we want it to be a positive experience for you at home. If it is not going well please let us know so that we can help.

 

-       An extra set of clothing should be sent in as well to keep in their cubby in case of an accident or mess.  With anything that is sent into school, we asked that it is labeled clearly.  For extra clothing or coats, winter accessories, book bags, etc., please either write your child’s name in the tag or use a sticky label that can be removed at the end of the year. Writing our room number (237) might be helpful as well.  Many items end up in the lost and found each year and are never reclaimed.

-       Please also have snack in a separate bag/container and labeled as such.  This is especially helpful if your child brings their lunch and avoids any confusion.  Please make us aware of any allergies as well, especially when birthdays and parties start to take place.
