REGISTRATION REMINDER
The start of school is fast approaching, It is very important that you complete your online registration prior to August 8 so that we can insure that your child is assigned to a classroom. We will be posting class lists on Tuesday, August 9 in the front of the school and on our website. Keep in mind that we can not assign them to a class and therefore can not provide them with their textbooks/ipads until the registration is completed.
Thank you for your quick response to making sure your child is registered for the 2022-2023 school year.
TECHNOLOGY DISBURSEMENT FOR 3-5
We would like to invite all 3-5th grade students to the Foster Road campus to pick up their Ipad devices for the 2022-2023 school year on TUESDAY, AUGUST 2 from 8:00-9:30 (SEE FLYER BELOW FOR DETAILS).
We will have a check in table in the front courtyard starting at 7:45 to provide you with assistance and provide you with a check list of tasks you will be asked to complete. They include the following (SUBJECT TO CHANGE).
- Check in to pick up your check list
- Verify registration completion (Assistance to complete if needed)
- Pass out COVID Test Kit-Each Kit has two tests (One box per student)
- First Day of School Information Folder Pick Up
- PTA Shirt order & Emergency Preparedness Request
- Assign and pick up IPAD for your child
We hope to see all 3-5th grade students on August 2. Keep in mind that if you cannot make it during this time, we will be assigning and distributing your child his/her Ipad within the first couple days of school.
Thank you.
TK & KINDER SCREENING ASSESSMENT DATE
We will be conducting screening assessments for all incoming TK and Kinder students. It is a brief assessment that will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. It will assess their entry level knowledge of ABC's, 123's, Shapes, and writing sample. This data will be used as a benchmark to show your child's progress throughout the year.
We will be calling you to set up an appointment time for Wednesday, August 3, 2022. If you are unable to make it that day, your child will be assessed during the first couple of days.
At the time of your appointment we will provide you with information folder for the start of the school year. TK/Kinder students have an adjusted schedule for the first couple of weeks and this information will be provided in the folder.
We also recommend checking with the front office to verify if your child's registration is complete prior to the start of the school year. (Keep in mind there may be a wait as parents will be trying to complete their registration).
Thank you.
