Dear Kindergarten Families,
I hope everyone is well! This week Ms. Edu and Ms. Andrea from the Mayme Gardena Public library visited with our class, read a story, sang songs and shared special pencil pouches with Kindergarten. Thank you to the wonderful Gardena librarians!
Please join us this morning for the start of Catholic Schools Week. We are so blessed! This month, we have been working on in-class projects to showcase and hope you visit our classroom after 11:00 Mass.
Sun., Jan. 28 Annual Open House – 11 am Mass, 12-2 Open House
Our Open House is from 12-2pm, after our 11am All School Family Mass (students can earn free dress passes from their teachers if they come in Full Mass Uniform that day and check in with their teacher). I will distribute a free dress pass outside of church after Mass and then will be in the Kindergarten classroom. I hope to see everyone and their families!
Catholic Schools’ Week Outfit- 1/29-2/2
Sun. 1/28, Open House- Formal Mass Uniform
Mon. 1/29, Student Appreciation Day- Pajama Day

Thurs. 2/1, Parent Appreciation Day- Career attire
Fri. 2/2 Special Person’s Day – Sunday Best or Formal Mass Uniform
Friday, Special Person’s Day
Friday is noon dismissal and Special Persons’ Day. Students may be checked out of school beginning at 9:45 am to go to Mass. During Mass, students with a special person MAY sit behind our class. Those with no special person will stay with the teacher. Students are free to leave after Mass once they are checked out of school.
Please know that once students are checked out from the teacher, parents/guardians will be in charge of their child. Kindly make sure that your child has adult supervision at all times. Avoid running around, or using the playground unsupervised.
Reminder, please avoid going in and out of the church during Mass. Students are asked to use the restroom and get water before Mass.
Water bottles
I kindly request that you ensure your child brings a water bottle to school each day. To maintain cleanliness and prevent accidents, I ask that the water bottles have a secure cover or cap. Additionally, for safety reasons, please make sure the water bottles are not made of glass.
Free Dress passes
Our school has new free dress passes. The new passes are valid for this school year only and cannot be used next school year. Old free dress passes will only be honored through January 31, 2024
Homework
Please make sure to follow the daily assignments on the SeeSaw app.
100th day of school project
Last Monday, 1/22, I sent out the instructions for our project.
On February 5th, 2024, Monday, we will be celebrating the 100th day of school. We will be celebrating with many “100” activities throughout the day.
Please send in your child’s completed project, the “100” items in the baggie provided with the instructions to share with the class.
