ABC's Of Kindergarten, cont.

is for

Toys - Please do not allow toys to come to school unless they are a part of a homework assignment. No toy guns, knives, beanie babies, electronic games, etc. Transportation - If you plan to pick up a child that normally rides the bus, you must send a written note. Do not rely on your child to tell us this information, because children often become confused and relay the information incorrectly. If no written note is received, your child will be sent home by his/her usual method of transportation.

is for

Unique-Kindergartners learn that they are special and unique. Kindergartners have opportunities to describe how they are alike as well as different from others. They share their culture and learn about different cultures within the class.

is for

Visitors - South has a policy that ALL GUESTS (including familiar faces) are required to check in at the office and wear a guest tag. South welcomes and encourages family involvement and the presence of a guest badge will help identify visitors to all staff. It is important to remember that while this may seem inconvenient to frequent visitors, it is the goal and responsibility of the school to create a safe learning environment. Volunteers - We welcome parent involvement and participation. There will be opportunities throughout the year for you to volunteer in our class and in school wide activities.

is for

Web sites- Our school also has a website www.mgsd.k12.nc.us\south.

is for

eXtra Special and eXpectations- Every member of our class is Extra Special! We have high expectations for all the children. We expect them to learn, to try their best and to always act like kindergartners. Children who get lots of encouragement in a supportive environment, feel secure to try new things and take risks in learning. Kindergarten should be a fun place where all children grow and develop at their own rate and become the best that they can be.

is for

Younger Siblings- It is in your child’s and the program’s best interest to have our parent volunteers available without younger children. This not only allows your full attention to be focused on the class, but also allows for some special time between you and your kindergartner. Thank you for making other arrangements for younger siblings.

is for

ZZZZZZ’s- Make sure that your child gets plenty of rest. Setting and keeping a bedtime is a wonderful gift you can give to your child. It will help them to be alert and ready to learn each day. Be sure to include a bedtime story!
