Parent Welcome Letter
Dear Parent(s), August, 2017
Welcome to Kindergarten! It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and fall is just around the corner. My name is Ms. Jennifer Boudreau, and I am delighted to be your child’s Kindergarten teacher this year at Aitken Elementary School. I hope you and your family have enjoyed the summer months as much as I have, and I am looking forward to having your child in my class this year. I am writing to remind you of a few important pieces of information.
* Kindergarten Orientation is Friday, Sept. 1st. On Orientation Day, while the children and I are getting acquainted, I will have some paperwork for you to fill out. Please return these papers to school that day or on Tuesday, Sept 5th. If you have any dismissal changes, be sure they are clearly marked and placed on top of the paperwork.
* The first full session of Kindergarten is on Tuesday, Sept 5th. Each child will need to bring in a snack starting on Tuesday, September 5th. Please remember that this should be a quick, healthy snack i.e. pretzels, crackers, cut up fruit, granola bar and a small drink. It is helpful if the snack is in its own snack bag (separate from his/her lunch), or in the SAME place in the backpack each day so your child knows what is for snack time and what is for lunch time.
*Arrival: The first bell is at 8:45, and the late bell is at 9:00. Please be on time dropping your child off as we have many things to explore each day. Also, for those parents who pick up their child from school each day, please be at the school a few minutes before 3:05 so your child does not become nervous that you are not there for dismissal. We usually dismiss a couple minutes before 3:05 to avoid the “big kids” in the hallway. For parent pick-up, the students are dismissed at the back door of the school near the gym. Again, please be a few minutes early so that your child does not become nervous that you are not there yet.
* Each child should bring a backpack to school that is big enough to hold a two pocket folder. Each child will be provided with a Kindergarten folder during the first week of school. It is my hope that these folders will help day-to-day communications between home and school. Please place notes for the office or for me in this folder so they can easily be found. Notes sent home from me and from the office will be found in the folder as well. It is important for your child to bring this folder to school every day.
* Our first class project will be to create a photo album featuring all of our families. Please collect up to four- 4x6” photos or drawings of your family (grandparents, favorite cousins, pets are all welcome!) and bring them to school on Friday, Sept 1st. Please make sure all photos are labeled with your child’s name; the pictures will be placed in your child’s time capsule at the end of the school year. I can’t wait to get to know everyone in our new “kindergarten family”!
* Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held in October. However, if you feel you need to speak with me, please do not hesitate to call the school (508) 336-5230, send in a note with your child, or email me at BOUDREAUJ@seekonkschools.org, and I will reply back as soon as possible. Also, I have created a website for our class on http://jenniferboudreau.weebly.com. Please feel free to take a peek and bookmark the page for more exciting things to be posted as the year progresses!
It is a privilege to be working together with you to help your child grow and learn!
Sincerely,
Ms. Jennifer Boudreau
