Christmas Play

We are so happy to be able to have our Christmas concert back this year. Please see school newsletter for more information. The Kindergartens are asked to wear white shirts (no graphics) and black pants to school all day on December 13th, 14th and 15th for our dress rehearsal and performances. Please note, while the rest of the school will be changing back into school uniforms, Kindergarten will remain in their ‘costumes’ for the entire day.

Kids A-Z (Raz Plus) Online Reading Program

Your child brought home a letter in their planner explaining Kids A-Z online reading program in mid November. This is a program that the school subscribes to and in Kindergarten we offer it as an option for reading at home. While we do not use this program during the school day, your child’s teacher is able to check in on their progress and send messages of encouragement and bonus stars. Please make sure to look for these messages if you are using the program. The login information is also taped to the front of their planner for your convenience.
