Week of September 5th - September 9th, 2016
Little Rockets News!
Dear Families,
We hope your child enjoyed their first two days of school last week! The boys and girls did a wonderful job of learning their routines of where to sit in the gym or hallway, walking in a line to their classroom, hanging up their coats and bags, and general routines in their classrooms. It is a lot to learn, but they did it with lots of smiles!
We appreciate everyone's cooperation as we work through our rules and routines. Children will feel more comfortable coming into school and finding their classroom line; teachers will begin to recognize the adults who are coming to pick up their children; thus drop-off and pick-up times will begin to move quicker as everyone gets more comfortable with the procedures.
If you have any questions or concerns about our procedures, I encourage you to contact me so we can review them together. Please remember, our procedures are all about supporting what is best for young children and promoting a positive and calm school environment.
Thank you!
Mrs. Stacie Nelson, Principal
Please mark your calendars!
