Transcript of SUNN-Kindergarten Intro Letter from Principal

Dear  Parents/Guardians,    Hello  and  welcome  to  the  Sunnyside  Kindergarten  Program!        We  are  pleased  to  welcome  back  Mrs.  Carrie  Durkin  and  welcome  Mrs.  Michelle  Prime-­‐Hoskins  for  our  Neighbourhood  Kindergarten  program  and  Ms.  Mika  Forde  for  our  Montessori  Kindergarten  program  for  the  2012-­‐2013  school  year.    We  are  excited  to  have  this  opportunity  to  work  with  you  and  your  child  at  Sunnyside  Elementary  School  and  are  looking  forward  to  meeting  you  and  your  child  at  the  Registration  Confirmation  on  Tuesday,  September  4th,  2012.    Please  bring  your  child  from  10:00  to  11:00  to  the  Kindergarten  rooms  (the  two  most  southern  classrooms  in  the  Annex  building).    

 The  following  list  will  enable  a  more  “smooth”  beginning  to  the  school  year.      

1. A  supply  fee  of  $55.00  is  due  the  first  day  of  school  for  students  in  both  Kindergarten  classes  if  you  have  not  already  paid.    This  fee  will  be  used  to  purchase  all  your  child’s  school  supplies.    Please  make  cheques  payable  to  Sunnyside  Elementary.    

 2. Regular  Full-­‐Day  Kindergarten  Schedule  will  be  from  8:35am  to  2:32pm.    Please  wait  outside  the  back  

door  of  the  annex  with  your  child  until  the  door  is  opened  at  8:35am.    Your  child’s  teacher  will  bring  the  children  to  the  same  place  for  dismissal  at  2:32pm.    If  parents  are  waiting  in  the  hallway,  it  creates  overcrowding  and  arrival  and  dismissal  times  become  difficult.    It  can  also  be  very  distracting.  

 3. Please  be  sure  that  your  child’s  teacher  knows  how  your  child  is  going  home.  Furthermore,  if  it  is  necessary  to  

change  the  routine  during  the  year,  please  do  so  by  writing  a  note  in  your  child’s  book  bag.        

4. We  encourage  all  parents  to  become  involved  in  the  school.    If  you  would  like  to  volunteer  by  helping  in  the  classroom,  cutting  things  out,  or  in  some  other  way,  please  let  your  child’s  teacher  know.  

   5. Please  read  with  your  child  every  night!    All  notices/permission  forms  will  be  placed  in  the  book  bag.  Please  

have  your  child  return  the  book  bag  to  school  each  day.    Also,  if  you  need  to  send  your  child’s  teacher  any  notes,  please  send  them  in  the  book  bag.      Furthermore,  please  place  any  money  in  an  envelope  or  Zip-­‐Loc  baggy.    Write  your  child’s  name  and  what  the  money  is  for  on  the  outside  of  the  envelope.    

 6. Please  provide  your  child  with  a  nutritious  snack  and  lunch  every  day  starting  September  12th,  2012.  

Suggested  items  include:    sliced  fruit,  crackers,  cheese,  dried  fruit,  vegetables  etc.    

7. If  your  child  is  not  feeling  well,  please  keep  them  at  home  so  that  their  fellow  classmates  do  not  become  ill  as  well.    Please  phone  the  office  to  let  the  secretary  know  that  your  child  will  be  absent.  

 8. Your  child’s  social  and  academic  success  is  built  on  regular  attendance  and  Kindergarten  is  a  great  time  to  

develop  this  habit.    Please  help  your  child  to  be  on-­‐time!    During  this  school  year,  if  you  should  have  any  questions  or  concerns,  please  feel  free  to  contact  your  child’s  teacher  or  me.    You  may  call  me  at  the  school  office  (604)  531-­‐4826.    I  will  return  your  call  soon  after.    We’re  looking  forward  to  a  great  year!      Mr.  B.  Helland,  Principal
