Here is some general housekeeping:
-Please return sunscreen forms with sunscreen or we cannot apply it.
-Make sure your child has a change of clothes, including underwear and socks, for the warmer weather.
-Please make sure your child is handing in homework on time. It is more important to enforce the responsibility and accountability than the correctness.
Spring is the best time of year to be in kindergarten! Enjoy all the beautiful days ahead!
