Kindergarten News
Week of April 13- April 17,
2015
Thank you so much for class donations…we
have planted our seeds!!
Information came home today via email
regarding RCE yard stakes. If you want one, print the order form and
attach payment. Orders are due next week on
WEDNESDAY.
It is time to order next year’s school
supplies.
The cost
for first grade supplies has been adjusted. Remember you are ordering first grade
supplies, not Kindergarten. Let us know if you have questions/need
help!
THIS Friday is our field trip to MMS to see
The Little Mermaid. Thank you for completing the forms and
sending payment. We will leave at 9:30 a.m. If you are joining
us, be at MMS at 9:45. Stay in your cars until you see us
unload the busses. After we unload the busses, join our group,
as MMS moms will be there to greet us. Also please send your child in a RCE shirt
and with a sack lunch. The lunch needs to be in a Ziploc bag
labeled with your child’s name. Do not forget the drink! After the play, we will
picnic at Bendwood Park. If weather doesn’t allow for this, we will
picnic back at RCE. Keep your fingers crossed.
Looking ahead to NEXT week…..on Monday,
April 20th, Tuesday, April 21st and Wednesday,
April 22nd, upper grades will be STARR testing. Our lunch schedule could be
different. Also, that is a day we can’t have
visitors/volunteers on campus. Thank you for understanding our need for a
quiet atmosphere at RCE those days.
