Valentines Day is coming

– we will celebrate February 12th in the afternoon – after our field trip.

Hello Parents/Guardians,
First, Remember, if you make Valentines that is super special and cost less.  I have paper at school if you need some, as well as, markers, crayons and things to glue on (if you are going for the collage look).  Please make sure everyone in the room gets a valentine if you are going to have your child pass them out.  In Kindergarten WE DO NOT PUT TO WHOMEVER – WE ONLY PUT FROM AND OUR NAME .  It is much easier for kids to put them into the bags that way. They will be doing a class project, I will be taking pictures to put on the web site.  Usually students are so sweet to each other during this time.

Second, when I send home paper work with a stamp on it that says “Please sign and return” that is homework that I would like students and you to practice and send back.  PARENTS PLEASE CHECK AND CLEAN OUT YOUR CHILD’S BACKPACK ON A REGULAR BASIS.

Third, lately I have noticed chapstick or lip balm coming to school and I just wanted to let you know any sunscreen, lip balm, chapstick, cough drops are considered medical materials and must be given to the office.  This is a district policy.  If you feel your child needs these things there is paper work in the office to be filled out.  It is my belief to keep you and your child legally and personally safe.  For example, some times kids share their lip balm and if there was an allergic reaction because of this, then there could be legal action.

Last, I have enough chaperones for the field trip on Friday, February 12th and the deadline for the paperwork is up to please volunteer for the next field trip.  The next field trip is to the play. I can only take 4 parents so that field trip will be first to turn your permission slip in gets to chaperone.  That permission slip will come home this Friday.  It is an expensive field trip so please let me know if you need assistance and also Chaperones you must pay for yourself as well as for your child.

Report Cards are coming home with students this Friday, February 5th.  I am copying 2 reports for 2 family households.  I am counting on you to make sure both parents get the reports.

You are great people with wonderful little people!  Thanks for being in my room.
Ms. Miles
