ABC's Of Kindergarten
is for
Absences- If your child will be absent from school, please call the office at 704-658-2650 and leave a message with a secretary. Please make sure your child also has a written excuse for all absences.

Attendance- A successful school experience is the responsibility of the children, the parent(s), and the school. Your child�s progress, both academically and socially, is influenced to a great extent by daily participation. Regular attendance without tardiness is a key.

Arrival- If your child will be eating breakfast at school, he/she should arrive at school around 8:30 AM. School begins at 8:45 AM. Teacher assistants in the gym monitor children who arrive before 8:30 AM. All students may go to their classroom at 8:30 AM.
is for
Backpacks - To help your child carry messages and information to and from school, you are asked to provide a backpack. The backpack needs to be large enough to hold a folder.  No wheels please!  The wheeled backpacks are too large for our cubbies. Your child will enjoy sharing the contents of his/her backpack with you, so please make time to go over the contents together.

Birthdays - Birthdays are special occasions for young children. If your child wishes, he/she may bring treats to share with the class. Please send a note a day or two in advance so we can set aside some class time for the treat.

Book It! - Book It! is a reading incentive program sponsored by Pizza Hut. Your child will earn coupons good for free personal pizzas just by reading!

Book Orders - Occasionally we will be sending home book order forms for you and your child to look over. These clubs offer wonderful books at reduced prices-what a great way to build your home library!

Breakfast - Breakfast is available in the school cafeteria. The cost is $1.00. Students who plan to eat breakfast should arrive at school by 8:30 a.m.
is for
Computers - We are fortunate to have computers in our classroom. We use a variety of age appropriate programs that reinforce math and pre-reading/reading skills. We also visit the computer lab on Fridays for computer instruction.

Conferences - Parent/Teacher conferences are held in November. At this conference, we will be discussing your child�s accomplishments, strengths, and overall progress. Please feel free to schedule additional conferences at any time throughout the year if the need arises.
is for
Dismissal - All kindergarten children who do not ride a bus will need to be picked up by an adult specified on the emergency card. School is dismissed at 3:15 p.m.  Teachers prepare for student learning once children are dismissed. When parents are late picking up children, teachers are left with little or no planning time.

Disposable Camera � Please send in a disposable camera for us to capture special memories of your child during his/her first year in kindergarten.  We will send the camera home when all pictures have been taken.
is for
Emergency Closings - If schools are closed for any emergency, radio and television stations will make announcements beginning at 6:30 a.m.

Email - You may contact us at school via our email addresses: 
[email protected] and [email protected].   Please keep in mind that while we try to check our email daily; we sometimes miss a day here or there. If you have an emergency, please call the school office at 704-658-2650 and leave a message for us.
