IMPORTANT DATES and INORMATION TO START SCHOOL



I am so excited to begin this year with each of you!  I can’t wait to spend this year with your little one, as we grow and learn together!

BACKPACKS
Please send your child with a backpack that can hold a folder, artwork, snack, and a change of clothes.  Little backpacks will not be able to hold all our important information.  No rolling backpacks are allowed as this is a tripping hazard for our little ones!

FOLDERS
FolderS will be provided as a way to communicate and will be sent home each day with activities that your child has completed. A calendar of events will be sent home once per month and other information will be included in this folder for your little one.

EXTRA CLOTHES
Sometimes accidents happen.  This is completely common and this age.  We are all learning not to spill, or get too messy when playing together. Please send a complete change of clothes in a gallon Ziploc bag with your child’s name. These clothes will be kept at school in case of an accident.  I will swap these clothes out as the season changes and the weather gets colder.  Please send your child in comfortable washable clothes that you do NOT mind getting messy or dirty. Tennis shoes or closed-toe shoes/sandals are ideal! Please do NOT send your child in sandals, open-toe shoes or flip-flops as stubbing little toes can hurt!

SNACK TIME
We have a snack time each day. If you prefer your child to receive meals at school, please sign them up and send lunch money for their account on the FISD website.  If you want to provide your child with a snack from home, please send items that can be eaten in 15 minutes. Please send a snack your child will eat.  You may also provide a drink if your child likes, but we do have a water fountain in class if needed.  Please no foods with peanuts as we have several students with allergies.

COOKING TIME
Certain units of study in our curriculum allow us to cook and explore using our senses.  We will strive to keep in mind allergies as we do these activities throughout the year.  In the event your child may be allergic to an activity I will contact you directly to work out an alternative that you may provide for your child.

REMINDERS
DO NOT send valuables or breakable items or toys as we cannot be responsible if they are lost or damaged.  We have more than enough materials for each student.
