This document provides information for parents about Mrs. Michael's kindergarten class. It outlines classroom policies such as bringing a book bag and change of clothes to school daily. It also discusses the classroom schedule, snacks, attendance policy, homework expectations, and goals of helping students become independent learners while creating positive memories.

1. Welcome to Mrs. Michael’s Class!
 Students should bring a book bag to school everyday. They will bring
home a daily folder. There will be a Friday White Folder with
important parent information.
 The school will send home a monthly calendar with important dates.
We will also have a class newsletter that comes home every Friday.
 Label all items that your child brings to school with your child’s first
and last name.
 Penn Cambria requires all students at PCPP to have a change of
clothing in school for emergencies/accidents. Please send in pants,
shirt, underwear, socks to school in a Ziploc baggie with your child’s
name.
 Please review the student handbook and parent information folder and
sign all papers that need returned.
 Daily Schedule: Our daily schedule will be sent home.
 We do have snacks in kindergarten. I will send home a calendar for
September. Each child will have approximately one day per month to
bring in a snack for the class. Please review the letter in the white
folder concerning healthy snacks.
 Attendance is extremely important to continue the learning process
and not fall behind. Students are considered Tardy after 9:00am.
 Families are permitted to fill out one vacation form per year.
Approved vacation days are not marked as illegal absences.
 Please send in a WRITTEN EXCUSE for each absence, even if a phone
call is made. This written excuse is required.
 We will be using the Peterson Font of handwriting. A sample will be
sent in the Friday Folder for you to keep at home.
 Please feel free to call during the morning if you have any questions,
or send in a note.
 Our classroom is run in an organized fashion. Students will be learning
responsibility, organization, and academic skills that will help them
become better learners.
 Students are permitted to bring in bottles of WATER only. Please
make sure the bottle is labeled so others don’t drink from it! It is a
good idea to send it in a plastic bag in the book bag in case of leakage.
 Students do not need any school tools. Please keep all
crayons/markers/glue/scissors at home. Consider making a school
area with these supplies.

2.  Homework is kept to a minimum. Students will have math
HOMELINKS randomly throughout the year. Reading books will come
home approximately once per week. One of the most important things
a family can do is spend time reading together every day!
 If your child forgets the homework, just send it in the next day.
My goal is to have your child enjoy coming to school and expanding their
knowledge. I want to help them become independent learners and at the
same time, create memories!
Mrs. Michael
