Kindergarten News 4-10-26
*We had a GREAT week back! We’ve been navigating a schedule change this week and it will continue into next week. We are flexing a bit by shifting our specials from afternoon to morning, to accommodate some testing occurring in the intermediate grades. We are very routine driven in Kindergarten, but the kids have rolled with it very well and even though our afternoons have been long, they have been enjoyable due to some fun activities we’ve been completing!
*Kindergarten will be going on a field trip on Tuesday, May 19th. There will not be a limit on parent chaperones--anyone who would like to attend is welcome. A permission/chaperone form was in Home Folders yesterday. Please return it ASAP. Our Kindergarten Awards Ceremony will be held the very same day. The field trip will run from 9:30-1:45 and the Awards Ceremony will run from 2:45-3:30.
