Also, when you child enters the classroom, please assist me in teaching them to deposit their WHITE TDSB BAG, their SNUGGLE BOOK, and their LIBRARY BOOK in the appropriate separate labelled bins.

Dear Parents,
Thank you for attending our Open House this week and I was glad to meet you and your children. My colleagues and I have been busy preparing our classrooms for an exciting year of Kindergarten and I am looking forward to working with your children this year. My goal as an educator is to create a happy and inviting classroom where children will learn, create friendships, improve skills and reach their individual potentials. Each child is unique and I am dedicated to working with your child to reach their full potential. We will work hard together to create an enjoyable and productive learning environment.
Drop Off and Pick Up
Children should be at school by 8:45 a.m. (morning class)or 12:32 p.m. (afternoon class) at the latest. Dismissal is at 11:20 a.m. and 3:07 p.m. respectively. It is important that when the bell rings the children are in line alongside the school wall and ready to come in for entry. If your children come in a little earlier they will have time to greet their friends and settle in class before the final bell rings. All the children are adjusting wonderfully to the start of school and I appreciate your assistance in helping me establish daily routines such as saying good bye to parents and getting ready for circle, lining up inside and outside the classroom, bringing notes and forms and other items to and from school, and other basic routines. The children are off to a wonderful start. Much of September is focusing on learning classroom routines and the children are doing well with the excellent example of our Senior Kindergarten children. Keep up the great work!
Please be kind enough to keep strollers behind the fence and keep the exit door clear so that your children may exit with a clear view of their caretakers. Dismissal is at 11:20 a.m. (morning class) or 3:07 p.m. (afternoon class).
If your child will be going home with someone other than parents or regular caregivers (grandparents, nannies, eg.) please inform me in written form. If for any reason you are unable to pick your child up on time please contact the school office (416-394-7890).
Outdoor Play
Outdoor play is a vital component of the Kindergarten Program. Weather permitting we will play outside. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately. You can also make this a learning experience for your child by checking the weather report in the newspaper together. This routine will also help them when we discuss the calendar and weather at circle time.
Clothing and Personal Belongings
Please assist your child in learning how to manage their clothing and to dress themselves. Clothing that is easy to remove and put back on with larger style zippers and buttons will assist your child.
Forms
Please return the medical and information forms that are being sent home in your child's white TDSB bag this week. If your child has an allergy requiring an EPI-pen, please ensure that you provide both the office and myself with an EPI-pen.
Schedules
If you have not received a copy of September and October`s Snack and Mystery Bag schedules please see me for another copy. I will also attach a copy to an email once I have received all your email addresses. Your Child`s Snack Day is also his or her Special Day and Show and tell Day. I will coordinate you child`s birthday with his or her Snack and Special Day. Mystery Bag Day takes place every Friday; on Thursday a child will receive the Mystery Bag from me, and he or she places a mystery item in the bag to be presented the next day. Classmates takes turns using question words to guess what is in the bag.
Parent Volunteers
On Curriculum Night (September 23) parents are invited and welcome to sign up for various opportunities to volunteer in your child`s classroom; Mystery Reader, Book Bag Helper, Library Helper, Computer Lab Helper, and Reading Club. Parent help is always welcome and your children love to see you in their classroom!
Please visit my blog regularly for updates and I look forward to a wonderful year!
Thank you,
