Welcome to Mrs. Jolley's Kindergarten Class

Welcome to Kindergarten! I am excited to be your child's teacher this year! This year will be a very exciting year for your child and their family! My wish for your child is as they grow they learn new skills and that they develop a love of learning and of school.

The school's phone number is 498-2825.

My email address is [email protected]

Money

Please send all money to school in a sealed envelope or baggie with the following information written on it.

1. Your child’s name

2. The amount of money

3. The purpose of the money (separate envelopes for multiple items – lunch money, book order, etc)

4. Mrs. Jolley's Class

With a classroom of kindergarteners all of this information is extremely important. Since there are several reasons to collect money, this will reduce the likelihood of errors. Also, if the envelope is left on the bus or dropped in the hallway this information will help the money be returned to my classroom.

Daily Snack

Kindergarten has snack every afternoon. In my classroom, every child is responsible for bringing their own snack. We eat lunch at 10:30am, so by snack time all of the students are hungry. It is very important to remember to pack a snack with your child on a daily basis. Snacks are not provided by the school. Sometimes I may have a few snacks in my classroom for backup, but most days I will not have anything in the classroom to give to a student for snack if he/she should forget to bring one.

Attendance

It is very important that your child is here every day and on time for school. Learning activities are group oriented and involve interaction with classmates. Therefore, it is next to impossible to recreate this setting at home. The school bell rings at 7:45am. Any child entering the school after this time will need to be taken to the office by an adult to be signed in and receive a tardy slip.

Change of Clothes

Your child will need a change of clothes that include a shirt (long sleeve and short sleeve), pants/shorts, socks, and underwear. Please send these items in a plastic bag with your child’s name on the outside. From the playground, art projects, and bathroom mistakes, accidents do and will happen. Having a change of clothes at school will be more convenient for everyone. This will eliminate the need for you to be disturbed and your child being uncomfortable.

Transportation

If your child's transportation home should changes, please send in a note or a message to me stating the change.

Emergency Closings

You will need to make sure your child knows what to do if school is dismissed early due to an emergency, such as snow. Please be sure I have a completed and up to date early dismissal form. Please inform the school and me if your plan and/or phone number changes at any time.

Bulldogs believe, achieve, and succeed.
