Encourage your child to write a story—look for a capital at the beginning, spaces in between words and a period at the end.

DECEMBER

This week we will learn more about the December holidays celebrated in various cultures. We will celebrate the diversity of holiday traditions celebrated around the world.

The State Board of Education mandates that Kindergarten students be in school for a minimum of two hours a day. On Wednesdays we do not quite meet that requirement so beginning on January 5th our classes will now meet during the following times:
AM Kindergarten
8:50-10:50
PM Kindergarten
11:30-1:30

The bus garage knows of this change and will still bring your students home accordingly. For our PM classes, PLEASE DO NOT HAVE YOUR STUDENT ARRIVE BEFORE 11:25. Due to our shortened lunchtime, there will not be supervision until 11:25. We will have the students come and hang up their backpacks, coats, etc. and begin school immediately. Thank you for your cooperation!

Have a wonderful Christmas holiday! Thanks again for all you do!

DECEMBER

It is hard to believe that December is here already! It is an exciting month for us at school. There will be many great things going one. We will be working hard to master the concepts for the kindergarten curriculum. I appreciate you making school a priority for these young, great students!

Please remember to send back the November reading calendar if you have not already done so.
If you have missing items that your child brought to school and has not returned, please check the “Lost and Found” room next to the lunchroom. The custodians will be taking any unclaimed items after Christmas to Deseret Industries.

THANKS AGAIN for all you do to help unsure your child is having a successful school experience!
