Kinder Week 27

Dear Kinder Families,

Happy 27th Week of Kindergarten!

Please read below for any announcements and news regarding upcoming Kindergarten events!

Monday, March 10th - NO SCHOOL
There will be no school this Monday. The Teachers will be having our Lenten Retreat with Monsignor. 

Morning Drop Off
Please ensure that your children are not running around outside during Morning Drop Offs. Students can sit on the brown benches, blue benches outside our classroom, or stand on their spots in line. Students should NOT be screaming, running around, or playing during the morning arrival before school. Per school policy, when t bell rings at 7:50a and if they are not on their spots it is deemed as tardy. 

Raise-Craze Fundraiser
Congratulations to our Kindergarten Class! We raised $6,202.01 and won THIRD place in our school! As a prize, we are being awarded with a HOMEWORK PASS and PIZZA AND ICE CREAM PARTY provided by the school! I will send more information on dates soon!

Tuesday, March 11th- Kindergarten Field Trip
We will be having our 2nd Field Trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA! 

Before we leave for the field trip, we will be having and early recess so that we can eat a snack before leaving. Please pack a SNACK for your child to eat BEFORE we leave school! Our reservation is not until 10am, so we will be leaving the school at 9:30am. 

Students can bring a SMALL backpack to carry their valuables. 

They will NEED:LUNCH for your child, we will NOT be purchasing food at the aquarium! Please pack your child's lunch in a plastic bag or a brown disposable bag, so they do not need to carry a lunchbox. 

1. WATER BOTTLE (refillable is fine!) 

 

2nd Trimester Awards Ceremony
Our 2^nd Trimester Awards Assembly will take place in the hall on Thursday, March 13, starting at 8am. Grades K-4 at 8am in the Hall, and Grades 5-8 at 9am in the Hall.

I have already sent out direct emails to all families of our awardees. For a student to receive a Citizenship award, a student must earn Os (Outstanding = 92-100%) on both work habits and behavior grades. Therefore, students' daily behavior, participation, attendance, assignments, and work habits are IMPORTANT factors in receiving an award.

Students are not eligible for a Citizenship award each trimester if they have one of the following:

• 5 tardies
• 5 unexcused absences
• 5 unexcused early leave
• 3 conduct slips
• 3 effort slips
• ST Math goals are not reached

Please know that if your child doesn't earn Citizenship this trimester, there's still a chance to earn it in the last trimester.
