Information for the week of May 2 - 6, 2011

**We have a lot of art projects piling up that need to be sent home.  If you have not already, please send in a bag with your child’s name on it so we can send them home for your viewing pleasure….

We will need a bag for end of year art stuff to come home in.  The backpacks are not large enough to hold everything.  If you have already sent one in, you will need to send another one before the last Friday of school.

Please make sure that you send the bag in by May 20^th!!

Field Day Info…The full-day children will participate in the Carnival activity on Field Day with kindergarten. The full-day children will be assigned to one or two 5^th graders to take them through the activities.  This takes place from 1:00 to 2:00 so the half day children will not participate in this.

**Picture Money is due!!  If you are paying by the internet, please let know so that we can mark you as internet pay.

May 24^th and 25^th: The last 2 days of school are Early Release days.  The Early Release schedules are different from typical ER Days.

• Students typically dismissed at noon will be dismissed at 10:30!!
• Students typically dismissed at 2:00 will be dismissed at 1:00!!
• Please make a note of the dismissal times.  Also, please share the alternate dismissal times with your daycare centers and/or nannies.
• Lunch schedules will not change on the last 2 days.  If your child goes home at 10:30, they will eat a snack at school and lunch at home.  If they go to daycare at 10:30, please pack them a lunch to take with them.

**End of Year Envelopes:  The large envelopes that were sent home Wednesday need to be stamped and returned.  Make sure that you fill out the forms inside and sign the back side of the registration form.  The registration form is what the office uses to put your children in either kindergarten or back in my class. 

**Many of you with rising kindergarteners have asked about the PTA form to order a kindergarten supply kit.  They ran out and were not in many envelopes.  I have made a copy from the original in the office and it is in the folders.
