Kindergarten Newsletter
July 27th
Welcome to Goodrich Kindergarten!
This school year, we will send home weekly newsletters through smore.com to give you a peek at our week. The newsletters will summarize our learning, activities, and big events for the week. We will also add some pictures to capture all the fun!
In our first newsletter, we would like to introduce ourselves and describe the first two events of the school year. A letter with this information has been mailed which you should receive within the week. The upcoming events to get you and your child excited for kindergarten are a Parent Orientation and a Kindergarten Kick-off.
Mrs. Kraabel
Hi, my name is Audra Kraabel, and I am very excited for this school year. I have been teaching for five years, four of those years here at Goodrich! I am married and have two boys, Ryan is 3 and Adam is 18 months. They keep me very busy. We love the outdoors and have spent the majority of the summer visiting different parks and splash pads. I am incredibly excited to begin this year as a Kindergarten teacher!
Miss Warner
Hi, my name is Kelly Warner, and I am very excited for this school year. I have taught for eight years and this will be my sixth year in kindergarten. One of my passions is soccer. I have played from five years old through college and now coach many teams. This summer, I spent time with my new puppy, Mowgli, exploring nearby forest preserves. I am thrilled to continue teaching kindergarten at Goodrich this year!
Orientation
Orientation is scheduled for Thursday, August 10th at 6:30 P.M. We will meet in the Goodrich Library, where we will share important information about our school and classroom policies/procedures. You will also have the opportunity to meet other staff members who work with kindergarten students and have the opportunity to ask any questions. This meeting is designed for adult family members, but if you need to bring your child, babysitting is provided by the Goodrich PTO. Please call the office at (630) 969-7271 by August 8th to reserve babysitting service for your child.
Kindergarten Kick-off
Kindergarten Kick-off will be held Monday, August 14th at 3:30 P.M. You and your Kindergarten child are invited to join us in our kindergarten classrooms! You will get the chance to explore the classrooms and the school as well as make new friends.
Please bring your child's school supplies on this day to make it easier for your child on the first day of school.
