- Parent Meeting - we will have a parent meeting on Tuesday, August 20st @ 5:30pm. There will be a lot of important info shared so please make plans to come. J If you are not able to come, please let me know and I will get you all the important info following the meeting.
- Arrival: students should arrive between 7:45-8:10. Kindergarten will go back hallway. Students will be picked up for class at 8:10. If your child arrives after 8:10, please bring them to the front office for a tardy slip. The office will ensure that your child gets to class.
- First Day Arrival: You may bring your child to the classroom on the first day. Help them put away their backpack, find their seat in the classroom, give a hug, kiss and take pictures (use our hashtag - #goosefaces) and then we'll get started with their first day of kindergarten! You are welcome to go to the Library for a Boo Hoo or YaHoo event.
- Dismissal: Please let me know your dismissal plans before the first day. If dismissal plans change, please put it in writing in the folder, email (before 11:00) or call the office. We dismiss from the front of the school (near the Mary Moore Sign on the wall) at 3:35. If your child is a car rider, please have the “car sign” with their name displayed on your dashboard of have it with you when you walk up to pick them up. A faculty member will bring your child to your car. If your child will be going to YMCA after school program or riding a bus, please let me know the name or number of the bus.
- Snack: Your child may bring a dry, healthy snack (fruit, goldfish, crackers, etc). Please do not send a snack that needs a spoon, any liquids or juice.. Snack will be optional so there will be days that your child chooses not to eat their snack.
- Breakfast/Lunch: Breakfast is served 7:45-8:05. You can access menus and set up an account online. You may come visit your child for lunch, but we ask that you wait for 2 weeks before coming so your child has time to adjust to the new lunch routine. You can access all this info and more at the AISD food services website: http://w2.aisd.net/aisd/fns
