Your child’s promotion card, end of year kindergarten assessment, DIBELS scores and reading level scores will come home on Thursday as well as whose class he/she will be in for 1^st grade.   Please watch for these.

  We are so excited to present our program on Wednesday evening!  It will be a special event to culminate our year.  Please remember that it will be held on Wednesday, May 23^rd at 6:00 for the AM classes and 7:00 for the PM classes.  If possible, please have your daughters wear dresses/skirts and your sons wear dress pants.  We will meet first in the school library 15 minutes prior to the performance times.  The program will be held in the gymnasium.

There are a few students who still need to return library books--Mrs. Stucki has printed out a list of those students. If your child comes home with that list, please return the books or the replacement money if the books are lost. Thank you for your cooperation with this.  

The last day of school is Friday, May 25^th.  All students will get to meet their first grade teacher for next year on this day.  In order for this to happen, we need all students to attend the morning session of kindergarten including those who normally attend the PM classes.  We will meet from 8:50-10:50--we are on an Early Out Schedule for that day.  There is no Extended Day so those students will come to Mrs. Ekker’s or Mrs. Wood’s classes only.

Thanks again for everything you do!  Your support is greatly appreciated!  It has been a wonderful year!
