Kindergarten News
Week of May 9-13, 2016
Please
remember that Monday-Wednesday this week we have students taking the STARR test
in upper grades. To keep a quiet atmosphere, the office has requested no
parent helpers on these days. Please do not come each lunch with your
child Monday- Wednesday, as well. Thank you for understanding.
It is
time to order school supplies for next year. Go to www.schooltoolbox.com

Choose
your child’s grade for NEXT year!
Mark
your calendar for May 16th and May 17th! (THIS IS A
CHANGE!) We need parent helpers to make the Kindergarten graduation caps.
If you would like to help, let your teacher know. Come at 10:00 on
those days. It is easy and goes fast with a lot of helper hands.
May
19th, Kindergarten is going on a field trip to see a play at
Memorial High School! We are allowed to take 5 parents per class. If
you would like to join us as a chaperone, please let your teacher know.
If we have more than 5, we will draw names. Siblings will not be able to
join us that day. This play begins at noon so it will be a middle of the
day type trip. We will be leaving RCE around 11 and parents joining will need
to meet us there. Details will be forthcoming.

Ocean!
