Dear Kindergarten families,
Hoping everyone had a blessed weekend! Here are this week’s updates:
Spring Fundraiser – see Mrs. Grey’s 1/18 email
Please help our school raise $40,000 with the Express Feedback for Good (EFG). All grades will be in a friendly competition. I hope the Kinder Friends represent by participating. You can access the link here, EFG. Don’t forget to sign up as Kinder Friends! Anyone over 18 can sign up as a Kinder Friend and help our class win a pizza and ice cream party while fundraising for our school.
STAR Testing
We will continue with STAR testing. This test will measure your child’s knowledge from the 1st trimester. Please make sure that your child has enough sleep and a healthy breakfast before coming to school. Students will be using our school iPad to do the test. It is recommended students wear headphones provided by the school to avoid distraction.
