Spring Break Travel Reminder from Mrs. Moss

Spring Break Travel Reminder from Mrs. Moss

I would like to remind you that if you are traveling out-of-state there is still a requirement of a 7 -day quarantine upon your return. Please contact the office if you plan on traveling so that we may advise you on a return to school date. This guidance comes from the public health department. Therefore, we must continue to abide by it until further notice. Please note that a negative COVID test result will not eliminate the need for the 7-day quarantine. Many thanks for your patience and understanding.

Spring Break Learning Packet

Spring Break Learning Packet

I will be sending home a learning packet for your child to work on over Spring Break on Thursday, April 1st. This is not required, and your child does not have to work on any school work over the break. However, if you would like to review a few pages or work with your child on completing it, students who turn it in on Monday, April 12th will get to pick a prize!

Homework is optional in Kindergarten, but I would strongly encourage and suggest you take some time each night to choose one of the learning resources below and work with your child for 15-20 minutes. Need login info? Just let me know, and I am happy to send it! Please remember to read with your child each night, and give them plenty of opportunities to read texts at their reading level. Keep practicing sight words too!
