Week of May 21-25, 2018

Kindergarten News
**Due to Graduation on Tuesday, May 22nd, boys and girls will NOT need to bring backpacks or folders to school that day ONLY.  All students will be signed out after the ceremony at the HIGH SCHOOL and will leave from there.  Folders and backpacks SHOULD come to school ALL other days including the last day, June 5th.
**ALL LIBRARY BOOKS NEED TO BE RETURNED ASAP.  The library is now closed.  **Any library books not returned must be paid for before the last day of school or report cards may be held.
                  For Reading we will continue with the remaining stories for Unit 6:  Building Our Homes.  We will review comprehension skills, short vowels, and consonant blends and digraphs. 
            For Math, we will be completing the Step Up to First Grade work mats.  Students will get a sampling of first grade Mathematics work.  Please take some time to review the daily practice pages!
**Kindergarten will practice for graduation on Monday, May 21st in the afternoon and possibly if needed, Tuesday, May 22nd in the morning at the High School.  **Please try to have your child at school for these practices so he/she will know what to do for the afternoon ceremony on Tuesday.  Students may be walking to the high school, so please dress your child in shoes for walking.
 Tuesday, May 22nd is the big day!  Kindergarten Graduation will be held in the High School Auditorium beginning at 1:00pm.   Doors will open at 12:45. The ceremony will begin promptly at 1:00 PM, so be sure not to be late and allow time for parking!  **Tickets and more detailed information were also sent home Friday, May 18th in your child’s folder.
**Remember students will be wearing caps and gowns and are asked to wear a WHITE-COLLARED shirt for the afternoon performance, however it is your choice how your child is dressed.  Shoes will be visible so plan accordingly.  Girls should not wear hair accessories that will get in the way of the cap. 
PLEASE NOTE:  Graduation caps, gowns, and TASSELS must be returned to the teacher after the graduation ceremony when signing out your child.  Tassels are NOT to be taken home (which is different than previous years).
            Friday, May 25th will be the PTO Carnival/Fun Day. This is a day of fun and games put together by the PTO.  Please dress your child for the weather and apply sunscreen as needed.  Students should wear sneakers and clothing for outdoor activities.  (No dresses or skirts please—gym attire preferred!)
Monday, May 21st will be Day3-Guidance.  Students will need sneakers and gym attire on for CARNIVAL/FUN DAY on Friday, May 25th.  **Please note that students will NOT have gym class on Tuesday due to Graduation!!
