Reminders: ·         Please make sure to empty out take home folders nightly.  Many have yet to be emptied and are becoming quite full.  Thank you for making sure your child is completing his/her math homework. ·         The kindergarten staff has been reviewing our school/classroom rules daily.  Please remind your child that he/she is expected to keep his/her hands to themselves.  Hurting others is never acceptable and will be given a consequence.  ·         If you have not yet sent $2 for our seasonal parties, please do so. Mrs. Jenison, Miss Maas, and Ms. Markwardt
