• WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN!
     
    Please read the important information below!
    • Our classroom is Room 1. We are Cornell University, GO BIG RED!c
    • School hours are 7:50am-11:10am (daily). Gates will open at 7:40am.
    • Arrival will be done from the bus lane off San Antonio Drive everyday. You can drop your child off as early as 7:40am. Please pull all the way forward once you enter the lane. Do not get out of your car. A teacher on duty will be there to help your child get out of the car if needed. Your child should exit the car on the passenger side.
    • Your child will then need to walk to the double "Kindergarten Entrance" gate where I will be waiting. Older siblings are allowed to walk your child in. Your child will line up at our designated "line up" spot and we will walk in together when the school bell rings. 
    • The gate will be closed at 7:50am. If you arrive after 7:50, you will need to go around to the front of the school, park, and walk your child into the office where you will need to sign them in. They will then be walked over to our classroom.
    • Your child will need to bring a backpack (large enough to fit a folder in) every day. Please write their name on it. I will also be attaching a nametag to it. No rolling backpacks please.
    • They WILL NOT need to bring supplies from home. I will provide supplies for the classroom. Use your supplies at home to help with homework and extra practice.
    •  Dismissal - Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will be done from the front of the school. Enter the parking lot from Schaefer and follow the traffic pattern. Please pull alongside the curb in front of the building and pull all the way forward. Do not get out of your car. You may also park and walk.
    • I will walk the students out through the front entrance and we will line up. Do not call your child over. When they see who it is that is picking them up, they will need to raise their hand and say "I see my special person". I will then dismiss them or walk them over to the car and help them get in. Please teach your child how to buckle/unbuckle themselves.
    • Your child will need to bring one small snack daily. They will need to bring it in a lunchpail or lunch bag. Write your child's name on it. A small snack might include: a piece of fruit, half a sandwich, a small amount of crackers, and juice. We only have about 20 minutes to eat and play, so they will need to eat quickly.
    • Please send either a refillable waterbottle or a plastic water bottle with your child daily. Write their name on it. We will not be able to use the drinking fountains.
