The following is a list of suggestions and announcements relative to the Kindergarten procedure at Parkview.
Day Care Forms - If your child will be transported to and/or from a location other than her/his home address, a special form must be completed and returned to Parkview, who will forward it to the Transportation Department, or sent directly to the Transportation Department. Forms may be picked up at the office and, if at all possible, filled out at the time of Kindergarten registration. If the form is not returned by August 1st, transportation arrangements will not be guaranteed. It cannot be emphasized too strongly how important it is to have this form on file as early as possible, as it will affect the morning/afternoon status of your child.
Bus Name Tags - Please pin the bus name tags on your child for the first two weeks of school. This should eliminate any confusion, lost children, and hopefully a few tears. Be sure to fill out your child's bus name tag with: name, address, telephone number, and bus number that takes them home or to daycare. (If your child is going to a sitter's home, then place the sitter's address and phone number on the name tag. This is very important!)
Sharing Time - You can help your child choose something that will be of interest to others such as:
1. Trip momentos or travel experiences.
2. Articles about nature, health, social studies, literature, or current topics of study
3. Poems, stories or songs
Sharing time will be handled differently in each class and you will be notified of this by the teacher.
Name Printing - When teaching your child to print her/his name, use a capital for the first letter and lower case for other letters (i.e. Susie, not SUSIE). Included in this packet is a chart indicating the formation of the alphabet letters for use in the writing of your child's name. Please label all of your child's school supplies using this letter formation.
School Bags (tote or back pack) - Please have your child bring a school bag each day. These bags are extremely helpful in making sure important letters, art projects, etc., reach their destination.
Labeling - It is a must to label all of the items your child brings to school with permanent marker. This includes clothing (coats, mittens, scarves, show and tell items, etc.) and individual items (each crayon, pencil, etc.)
Absences - When a student is absent from school, the parent must call the student absentee line at 651-683-6969 ext 5156, and give the date, student's name, teacher and reason for the absence. If your cannot get through on this line, call the school directly at 952-431-8350 during school hours.
Special Arrangements - If there are any changes in your child's daily going home routine, please notify your child's teacher by phone call or note on that day. Your child will not be released to anyone else, such as a neighbor, without written notification from you.
Birthday Treats - If you wish to send a treat for all the children from your child, it must be "store bought". Requests for passing out party invitations will not be honored unless an entire class is being invited.
Library - Kindergarteners will be allowed to check out library books. We would appreciate your help in assisting your child in the care and return of books.
Feel free at anytime to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Let's work together to make this a rewarding, successful year for your child!
