It's Time for Kindergarten!!

**Welcome to Ms. Gullo's Class!
**Classes begin  tomorrow, August 31st at 8:00 am.  Please meet me outside our patio door.  There will be a  sign for where to line up.  The first bell is at 7:55 am. and I will be opening our Kindergarten door at 8:00 am. with a HUGE SMILE on my face!
**We will always enter and exit the brown patio doors.
**Because of the hot weather--please send a water bottle with your child.  We do not have air conditioning, but have places to cool off in our building. 
**Please send a HEALTHY SNACK each day.
**The first hour of class from 8:00-9:00 am is a FAMILY HOUR.  I will chat with both students and adults.  We will also have a story and perhaps an activity.  Families will depart at 9:00 am and we will continue the rest of our day. 
**ABSOLUTELY NO NUT OR NUT PRODUCTS IN OUR CLASSROOM.  If your child has a nut allergy, arrangements can be made in the lunchroom for them.  We do have a NUT  FREE lunch table.
**Your child should know if he/she has a HOME LUNCH or will be getting a SCHOOL LUNCH.  Did you send a drink or will they be getting white or chocolate milk?
**Our LUNCH RECESS begins at 11:45 am on the playground.  We will be eating lunch in our lunchroom from 12:15-12:40 pm. 
**I am looking for a few more parents to help assist with lunch the first week of school.  I have Kate Meier so far.  Two more parents would be great.  Meet us on the playground at 12:10.
**IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY----please have your child wear or keep in school a pair of gym shoes and socks.  
**Please make sure your child has a COMPLETE CHANGE OF CLOTHES INCLUDING UNDERWEAR AND SOCKS.
**I am working on our daily schedule and you will receive a copy soon.  For MONDAY--our SPECIAL AREA SCHEDULE includes SPANISH (12:45-1:15) with Senorita Zaragoza, MUSIC (1:15-1:45) with Ms. Hiolski and LIBRARY (1:45-2:15) with Ms. Noonan.  I will be escorting students to these classes. 
**Please continue to bring in supplies if you have not done so already and any medical forms. 
**Our regular dismissal time is 2:55 pm, but for tomorrow families can come at 2:30 for our end of the day story.   Please note that regular dismissal is at 2:55 pm. each day except for Wednesdays at 1:55 pm.
**I have received transportation information on some of the students taking the district school bus, YMCA, Clubhouse, Hephzibah and some home daycares.  If you did not attend the supply drop off and your child is attending one of these aftercare programs, please email me to let me know.  Siblings picking up kindergarten students must dismiss with their own class and walk around the front of the building to our patio. 
**I can't wait to see all of you TOMORROW!
