Dear Kindergarten Parents,
I hope that you had a nice weekend. We are off to such a great start, thank you for all that you are doing to make this happen. I think I jumped the gun with the IXL math. We have a trainer coming Tuesday so hold off on this until I figure out the best way to implement it.A couple of uniform notes. First please check the sweatshirts at your house to be sure they are all yours (names may be on the tag). Kids frequently mix these up so it is a good idea to do this from time to time. Next please remember that all socks and tights must be solid colored red, blue or white and pants may not be joggers (elastic at the ankle) Gator Gear may be worn on Fridays, BUT only the hoodie or blue cadet jackets. The gator tee and any joggers are not allowed. Sorry, I know this is a lot at the beginning! Enjoy your week and let me know if you have any questions!
Mrs. Clarke
