Pictures from the first week

Here are some pictures from Mrs. Haughey's class.  Mrs. Gallucci sent a picture home to you on the first day of kindergarten!

Welcome

Welcome to our new Kindergarten Families!   It was so nice to meet you!  We are having a great first week.  We can already tell that it will be a wonderful year!

ALLERGY INFORMATION--Please be aware that both classes have a peanut/tree nut allergy.  Please do not send any snacks that have peanut or tree nut products in them.  We cannot have students eating these types of snacks in our classroom.  You are allowed to have items with peanut/tree nut ingredients at lunch.

Quick reminders:

• Please remember to wear your bus tag to school every day for the first 2 weeks.  Mrs. Haughey's class are paw prints and Mrs. Gallucci's class are frogs.
• Pack ONE snack daily for your child.  Please try to pack it separate from the lunch.
• Bring the red folder to school each day.
• Keep the PE shirt in your child's backpack because we wear them to all of our specials.  This helps our librarian (Mrs. Kudley), our music teacher (Mrs. Jones), and our PE teacher (Mrs. Barnes) learn names. 
• Please remember to complete and return all forms.  Thank you!
