read have them read to you. Photocopied books will be sent home as

a part of homework with a book response after our conferences in November.

SNACK Please be sure that your child’s snack is

clearly marked. Write “snack” on a brown paper bag or separate bag.

Please include a bottle of water or container of water.

Snack item and snack is meant to be a light snack, not another meal.

CHANGE OF CLOTHES This is new this year and Mrs. Robinson

stated at the Kindergarten Preview night that items will remain in backpacks.

If you wish your child can just use the clothes available at the nurse’s office and you can keep the clothes at home.

LUNCH Please have your child either buy or

pack. Some children have been buying and packing then they want to eat their lunch for snack.

Once snack is at a center there will be no time for more than just a small snack – one item and water.

IT IS SURE TO BE A GREAT YEAR!
