Congratulations
to you and your child! You have made it through the hardest part of

very familiar with the rules and procedures. I am delighted by their progress!

correspondence while counting items in a set.
Reminders:
~ Please remember to check your child’s folder
EVERY day. Remove the “left at home” items. Review the concepts that were
taught. Check the “right back to school” items. This side of the folder
contains papers that should be returned promptly. When sending a note or
paperwork to school, please place it in the “return” side of the folder.
~ Continue to practice your child’s
5-digit number. They use this daily in the cafeteria. It is also used
to log in to computers and check out library books.
~The PTO school store is now open.
Kindergarten students may shop only on Mondays before classes start. Money
for the school store should not be placed in folders because I may not get to
it in time.
~ The Fall Festival Meeting will take
place on Thursday, September 13th in the Elementary Cafeteria at 2:00pm.
~ School
pictures will be taken on Friday, September 14th.
