Week 17 in Kindergarten
December 5 - 9
Testing this week
To best help your child, we ask that you continue to have them go to bed around 8. Ensure they have a nutritious breakfast. And remind them all they need to do is give their best effort and use their strategies.

Dooley Giving Tree
We ask for adults to come in to choose a card with their students. If you cannot stop by, please send a note or email to your child asking for assistance with picking out ornaments.
All gifts need to be sent to school wrapped by Friday, December 9 to be delivered to our families in time for the holiday season.
Jacket Weather
Please label your child's jacket with their name. Jackets will be taken off during the day. The easiest way for them to find their way back to the correct child is to label it.
Have your child practice putting the jacket on by themselves. This includes zippers and buttons. Being able to put on a jacket is an age-appropriate skill for a kindergartener to do independently.
Send a warm change of clothes. All types of accidents can happen in kindergarten. Please make sure your child has a complete change of clothes at school with items appropriate for cooler weather.

Upcoming Events
Changes in Transportation
If you have something come up and need to make a change after the school day has started. Contact the front office, at 469-752-1102. Teachers are busy working during the day and may not be able to check their email or answer the phone. Contacting the office will assure you the message was received and your child will go home the appropriate way.
Water Bottles
Shoes for PE
Snacks
Also, we ask that you do not put their snack in their lunch boxes. Putting their snack separately, helps them easily identify what is meant to be a snack and cuts down on confusion.
