Kindergarten Welcome Letter from the Principal
August 16, 2017
Dear Kindergarten Families,
Welcome to Greenwood Elementary! We are extremely pleased that you have decided to share your child with us. It’s going to be a wonderful year, filled with tremendous academic and social growth!
All incoming kindergartners and their families are cordially invited to attend Greenwood Elementary’s Evening Kinder Visit on Tuesday, August 29th, from 6:30-7:30. (The formal invitation has been mailed and provides details pertaining to the evening.) Upon arrival to Greenwood’s Evening Kinder Visit, you will receive your child’s class placement, be able to deliver supplies, (thereby easing the load for your kinder on the first day of school,) see the classroom, and meet your kindergarten teacher!
The first day of school is Tuesday, September 5th, 2017. This will be a FULL - DAY of school. Our school hours are as follows:
8:13 a.m. Bell to enter school
8:15 a.m. School begins
11:25 a.m. Lunch begins (Kinders will eat and enjoy quiet rest time in their classrooms for the 2017-18 school year.)
11:25 a.m. Half-Day Dismissal
3:19 p.m. Full-Day Dismissal
It is imperative that children arrive to school at an appropriate arrival time, such as, around 8am, to ensure that they are ready to begin their day promptly for the 8:13 bell. If students are not a breakfast or latchkey participant, they will not be allowed in the building prior to 8:00 am, as there is no staff monitoring students until that time. Additionally, it is imperative to have concrete and reliable student pick-up procedures in place. If a pattern is identified with students arriving unsupervised too early, or being left behind at school after dismissal, St. Clair Shores police department may be notified.
To help assist families in establishing reliable before/after school arrangements, Greenwood provides Kidz Korner (latchkey) before and after school. Kidz Korner begins at 6:30 a.m. and concludes at 6:00 p.m. Registration is required!
In closing, the entire Greenwood staff is looking forward to working with you and your child to make this a most rewarding and successful year. Enjoy the remaining days of summer and I will see you soon.
Sincerely,
Sara Dobbelaer
Greenwood Elementary, Principal
