In the event of inclement weather, all children in the morning are let inside at the kindergarten doors.

WHAT KIND OF SUPPLIES WILL MY

CHILD NEED???

The Kindergarten teachers have collaborated to provide you with a list of supplies

        that your child will need on the first day of school. A list is enclosed so that you may purchase the items over the summer. The PTA is going to set up a “Hillside” list at Staples or other local store and an online vender such as schoolpop.com to make it easy for you. But feel free to buy them anywhere you want.

 

 

 

                HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT DAY(S) MY CHILD HAS GYM???

                Your child’s teacher will inform you of what day(s)                 he has gym so that you may dress him appropriately. In         addition, you will also be advised of your child’s                    scheduled day for library, art, music, etc.

 

 

 

WILL MY CHILD NEED A BACKPACK???

Yes, your child will need a backpack. We discourage buying a rolling backpack for kindergarteners. This is to ensure the safety of all the children.
