STAR STUDENT AND SURPRISE BOX INFORMATION:
Kindergarteners begin to experience a weekly Star Student beginning the end of September . We pick a weekly candidate by chance on Friday the week before this enables the poster to be done on the weekend and sent back with 5 small items to share on Monday . The items are to share daily during the week. On that Friday, the students parents can visit the classroom ( time to be determined on the paper sent home on the friday before) They are asked to read their child's favorite book and share the poster with the class. It is very simple and sweet and our kiddos enjoy this simplicity of feeling special on that day . If you choose to bring in a small token (totally optional ) please make sure it has no food componant.
SURPRISE BOX :
This is another fun tradition daily, children will start this the last week of September . the paper explains that your child will be given 4 post its to write three clues and one bonus clue about the small object in the box. The child who guesses the item correctly will take the box home that night and the process will begin again. Fun way to engage our students to listen and learn !!!
Please send in the following items during the first week of school:
- Photo for our “Jesus Loves Me” board
- Art Smock (labeled with name)
- Change of clothes labeled in a gallon-size Ziploc bag . Please include a change of socks as well (play-clothes are fine and transitional clothes work best).
- Box of tissues
- Disinfecting wipes/hand wipes/papertowels/ are appreciated anytime throughout the year!
A Few Reminders
Students should be in the classroom by 7:45 AM. If your child is late, they need a late slip from the main office.
Lunch/Recess is from 12-12:40 PM on regular school days. If you want to order lunch for your child, please do so on the school website. We are a cashless cafeteria. We have a snack every morning in our classroom at approx. 10:00. Please pack a healthy snack and water and pack it separately from their lunch, labeled. We are a peanut/nut-free classroom, so please do not send in food containing these allergens. Please let us know if any student has an allergy or health concern. I will post it and send it to the nurse.
Show and Tell is every Friday unless noted. Please pack a school appropriate share that is non breakable and can fit inside your childs backpack.
All Specials will be listed on our website under the "Specials Tab". They will be listed by day and time.

Please check folders daily and return them to school the following day. Make sure papers are taken out before returning to school. All students should have a regular-sized backpack for school. The backpack should be standard size to accommodate all of child's belongings.
Please check our school website daily. The administration often posts important notices on the home page. Also, be sure to check our class website each day for news and homework. Homework will be given Monday through Thursday with clear directions and wiil be listed onthe daily Homework calendar .
Birthdays: In accordance with Saint Leo’s allergy policy, we do not allow outside snacks to be brought in from home. The birthday child may dress down for their birthday and be excused from homework that night. The whole class must have an invitation if you send birthday invitations to hand out at school. I will place them in take-home folders at the end of the day.
Holiday celebrations: If you send in a goody bag for any reason, it must not contain food or candy.
