Hello Kinder Parents!
Week 1 of Kindergarten is over and it was so great! We have been learning about our school routines and classroom rules daily. Your children are amazing, and I truly look forward to getting to know each of them more each day! Please read carefully below for this week’s announcements and reminders!
8/26-8/30 Dismissal
Kindergarten still has 12:00pm dismissal next week, and ONLY Kindergarten! Dismissal will be different than usual, since the rest of the school is still in session. We want to be mindful of the safety of the students still on campus. Kinder Dismissal will be from the MAIN GATE in front of the HALL on 163rd Street. Kindergarten students will be lined up and sitting inside the hall waiting for the name to be called and walked over to the accessible ramp. Please be mindful of the street parking and for pedestrians crossing.
Ms. Maria and the office staff will help assist in supervising the children and walking them out of the hall to hand them off to me and to you during dismissal.
School Uniform
Monday, August 26th begins the full uniform requirement.
Please check our student handbook for clarifications to answer any questions!
SNACK/RECESS
Kindergarten’s recess time is at 10:00am-10:15am.
Please make sure to pack a healthy, nutritious snack for them everyday!
You do NOT need to pack a lunch OR order school lunch until 9/3 when they begin the normal full school schedule.
Again, Kindergarten does not have a nap time during the school day.
Green Homework Folders
Kindergarten will receive their first weekly homework packet on Monday. There is a schedule and list of what is assigned for homework each day. Students do not need to turn in this packet until FRIDAY of each week, however parents must sign their signature indicating that they have done their homework every night. This green folder must be taken back home and to school every day.
Please check your child’s homework folder. There is a green free dress pass inside their folder for those student who completed their summer homework packet and turned it in by Today! This ticket expires 1 month from today, (9/23/24). Students may use this free dress pass on any day that they wish while following the appropriate guidelines from the handbook!
CLASSDOJO:
I love using Classdojo as an informal way of communication with the parents. With this app, you can receive reminders from me as well as view pictures posted online! Only the parents/students with an account in OUR class have access to this page. As the teacher, I love to share photos from our day to show parents some of the fun learning activities we are doing!

We are slowly but surely getting the hang of school routines and new rules. Thank you, for allowing me to be their Kindergarten teacher! They surely are such a wonderful bunch of children, and I am blessed!
For any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to email me.
Have a blessed weekend and a wonderful week ahead!
Blessings,
Mrs. Garrido
