It was a pleasure to see all of you Friday morning at the Meet and Greet!  The 
children seemed very comfortable and jumped right into classroom activities. 

Please take note of these important details for Monday and Tuesday:
Monday - Please walk your child to our classroom on Monday morning.  Plan 
on arriving around 8:15 a.m.  Please take many pictures!  Around 8:30,  we 
will take a class picture and then jump right into classroom activities. Please 
plan to come to the classroom at 11:50 on Monday to pick up your child.  
We will do this on Monday only.  On Tuesday, we will plan to do regular 
carpool.  The children should be picked up at 12:10.  I will text you with 
any changes.

Please send your child with a healthy snack (fruit, crackers, yogurt, veggies, etc.) 
on Monday (and every other day!)  Please send a water bottle as well.  

Tuesday - Beginning Tuesday morning, all kindergartners will begin our 
normal morning routine.  Please drop your child off at the Main Auditorium 
entrance.  Adults and safety patrol students will be there to assist your little 
ones in getting safely into the building.  Once inside, the kindergarten teachers 
and parapros will be there to greet your child and show them where to wait.  
Your child may be dropped off beginning at 8:00.  Prior to 8:00, no adults will be 
there to monitor your child.  

We will be starting regular carpool on Tuesday, however, I would like to come 
upstairs around 12 (instead of 12:10) to be one of the first groups in line.  Afternoon 
carpool is extremely simple at PCS.  If you would like to drive through 
the carpool line just pull through to the Main Entrance.  You will need a sign with 
your last name shown clearly.  I have always clipped this sign to a small hanger 
and I hang on the rear view mirror.  I will be the one putting your child in your car.  
Please text me with any carpool changes prior to 11:30, if possible.  If you would 
like to walk up to the Main Entrance to pick up your child, please stand along each 
side of the entrance so that the classes can move through.  If you are a "walk-up" 
mom, please plan to arrive for the early part of carpool so that when our class is 
exiting I can send your child to you.  Of course, and as they will learn on Monday 
and Tuesday, they must give me a hug or a high-five before running to their 
parent This helps me know that they are moving out of our line and I will watch 
them walk to you.  

Finally, our first parent meeting is Tuesday evening (August 13th) in our classroom.  
We will begin at 7:00 and end around 7:50.   Our time is limited, so your punctuality 
is appreciated! 

LATE START on Wednesday!  Students can be dropped off starting at 9:00 a.m.

I will be praying for your sweet little ones this weekend!  
I ask for your prayers for as we begin our awesome Kindergarten journey.
