Mrs. Burkhardt's Classroom News
August 23, 2023
Welcome to Kindergarten!!
If you were unable to visit at Open-house, my name is Shelley Burkhardt and I will be your child's kindergarten teacher this year. I am very excited and looking forward to a memorable school year together!
Attendance
Learning builds day by day. A child who misses a day of school misses a day of learning. Regular school attendance builds a solid educational background. If your child is unable to come to school due to doctor's appointment, they are sick, etc. please be sure to contact the office or send me a message as soon as possible to let us know.
B.E.E. Folder
I believe a parent-teacher connection is extremely important for a successful school year. A daily folder will come home every day. Inside you will be given helpful resources to extend your child's learning at home. You may also send notes to ask questions, clarify information or let me know important information. If your child is a bus rider and you are going to pick-up at the end of day, please inform me through Remind or in the BEE folder with a note.
Classroom Parties and Field trips
We will be celebrating with 3 classroom parties...Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day. We are planning some field trips this year, more information will come home about upcoming trips this year. You must fill out a background check for all parties and trips. Please let me know if you would like the paperwork sent home.
Snacks
We will have snack every day. Students will need to bring a nutritious snack. Also, I do not consider candy as a snack! If I am made aware of any classroom allergies that will effect our class during parties, I will advise parents as soon as as possible.
Literacy Bags
Please watch for Literacy Bags to come home in your child's back pack in October (more information to come about those).
